Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Warren Davidson (R-OH), and Victoria Spartz (R-IN) have said they do not plan to support a continuing resolution because it extends Biden-era spending levels while appropriators work to pass all 12 spending bills for fiscal 2026.

In a post to X on Monday, Greene said there have been no meetings for rank-and-file Republicans on a continuing resolution.

“We have had zero meetings about voting on a CR. Zero. We have zero bill text. We knew it was coming for a long time, but Johnson continued the charade of passing our own appropriations,” Greene wrote.

“It is an extension of the Johnson/Schumer/Biden omnibus that I, and many of my conservative colleagues, originally voted NO on,” she added. “Congress should not pass a CR and hand our elected legislative power over to unelected OMB. That’s not how this works.”

Davidson said he’s “out” on another stopgap spending deal and said he will only tolerate a “smaller, more accountable, more focused America First government.”

“Lord willing, there will be a revival and resurgent faith in Jesus. Pray for it! Work for it! But, I’m not sure the GOP, the Republicans, MAGA, conservatives, or some other blend of right of center politics will do anything different,” he wrote. “I already hated status quo thinking and approaches (soft incrementalism at best), so I’m out on another CR for the sake of more government.”

In a post on Sunday, Spartz said she is a no on the possible Thanksgiving continuing resolution.

“I am willing to vote for a CR of any duration — short or long — the least damage to the Republic, but I cannot support one that ends funding right before a major holiday to jam us with an Omnibus,” Spartz said. “I’ve seen this playbook too many times.”

Spartz has repeatedly said she will vote against continuing resolutions, only to fold and vote for them in the end. She also nearly blocked House Republicans’ budget blueprint for the “big, beautiful bill” in February. 

However, she voted for the March continuing resolution, which extended funding to Sept. 30.

“I don’t think we have time to do anything else. I’m being realistic,” she told Reuters at the time.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who is traditionally against continuing resolutions, was the sole vote against the March spending deal. He told the Washington Examiner right before the August recess that he would not vote for a bill that keeps government funding levels flat.

“Well, I didn’t vote for the last CR, so I’m probably not going to vote for this one,” he said in July. “If it’s a CR of the CR, it’s still Biden’s budget.”

President Donald Trump, who is currently in the United Kingdom for a state visit, encouraged Republicans to get behind a clean CR in a post on Truth Social. He said, “in times like these, Republicans have to stick TOGETHER.”

“Democrats want the Government to shut down,” Trump wrote. “Republicans want the Government to OPEN. …FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.”

With Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-VA) joining the House Democratic caucus, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) can only afford to lose two GOP votes and still pass a spending deal along party lines.

Johnson is unlikely to get help from Democrats, who are demanding healthcare concessions from GOP leadership. Democrats, as well as some centrist Republicans, have advocated a continuing resolution to include an extension of the Obamacare health premiums, which expire at the end of the year. 

DEMOCRATS DEMAND HEALTHCARE CONCESSIONS FOR VOTES ON GOVERNMENT FUNDING DEAL

Republicans in leadership and on top committees have not shown interest in extending the Affordable Care Act subsidies. Johnson said on Sunday that Congress “may need a short-gap funding measure, a CR, for a short period of time to allow the [bipartisan funding] negotiations to continue.”

“But it will be clean in its scope,” Johnson said, adding, “I surely hope the Democrats will not try to make this a big, partisan fight.”
