The House of Representatives is one step closer to passing all 12 appropriations bills after leaders soothed a conservative rebellion on Wednesday, promising a removal of an “egregious” state project request and allowing a separate vote on one of the three government funding bills.
The chamber voted 214 to 212 on a procedural rule to advance the Energy and Water, Interior and Environment, and Commerce, Justice, and Science bills for a final vote on Thursday. But tucked into the rule was language that cleaves the Commerce, Justice, and Science bill from the original three-bill “minibus,” and it will now receive its own vote.
