The House of Representatives voted to pass three appropriations bills on Thursday, a win for appropriators and GOP leadership after quelling a conservative rebellion the day before that threatened to tank the legislation.
The chamber voted 397 to 28 to pass the Commerce, Justice, and Science bill, the Energy and Water, and the Interior and Environment bills. The minibus was split up for individual votes — one on commerce and one on the other two — before being “smashed” back together for a final vote, after leaders agreed to give fiscal hawks a separate vote on the commerce legislation to show their displeasure.
