The House will bypass typical procedures to advance a three-month continuing resolution to fund the government temporarily after some infighting within the GOP conference threatened the spending deal’s fate.
House Republican leaders pulled the CR from the Rules Committee on Monday night to avoid the legislation being advanced under traditional House rules. Instead, the House will vote on the bill under suspension of rules, meaning it will require a two-thirds majority vote to pass but will avoid a procedural hurdle that could have doomed its passage thanks to Republican infighting.
