At least three GOP members-Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Warren Davidson, and Victoria Spartz-have publicly opposed the CR because it maintains Biden-era spending levels while lawmakers work on the full fiscal 2026 budget.<\/p>\n<p>These Republicans criticize the lack of transparency and meetings regarding the CR and reject extending current spending levels. They urge for a smaller, more accountable government and express frustration with what they see as handing legislative power over to unelected officials. Rep. Thomas Massie also opposes the continuing funding approach, and the GOP&#8217;s narrow House majority means Speaker Mike Johnson can only loose two Republican votes to pass the bill on party lines.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are unlikely to support the GOP proposal without healthcare concessions, notably the extension of Affordable Care act premium subsidies, which Republicans have shown little interest in. Speaker Johnson indicated a clean, short-term CR may be needed to extend negotiations, hoping Democrats avoid making the funding fight partisan. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump urged Republican unity to avoid a government shutdown, blaming Democrats for the risk. The standoff underscores the tensions within the GOP and between parties as the shutdown deadline approaches. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Mounting GOP opposition puts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/big-government-crushes-small-business-dreams\/\" title=\"Big ... ...ushes Small Business Dreams\">spending deal<\/a> at risk ahead of shutdown deadline<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2231748\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A handful of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/republicans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Republicans<\/a> are lining up against a short-term spending deal set to reach the House floor as soon as this week, raising the risk of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/government-shutdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">government shutdown<\/a> as GOP leadership contends with thin margins.<\/p>\n<p>So far, at least three Republicans have opposed a continuing resolution that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3798963\/republicans-funding-deal-government-shutdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">is expected to stretch<\/a> until the end of November.
