For what purpose does the gentlewoman from Connecticut seek recognition?
Guess what?
I request a recorded vote.
Does the gentlewoman ask?
And nays.
With great surprise, the yeas and nays are requested.
The House rejected a Republican government funding bill 174 to 235.
A two -thirds majority was needed for approval.
38 Republicans voted against the legislation, which President -elect Trump urged members to support.
We're good to go.
We're good to go. Speaker Johnson said after the vote.
Very disappointing to us that all but two Democrats voted against aid to farmers and ranchers, against disaster relief, against all these bipartisan measures that had already been negotiated and decided upon.
Again the only difference on this legislation was that we would push the debt ceiling to January of 2027.
I want you all to remember That it was just last spring that the same Democrats berated Republicans and said that it was irresponsible to hold the debt limit, the debt ceiling hostage.
What changed?
It is, I think, really irresponsible for us to risk a shutdown over these issues on things that they have already agreed upon.
I think you need to be asking them the questions about that.
We will regroup and we will come up with another solution, so stay tuned.
We're good to go.
C -SPAN is your unfiltered view of government.
We're funded by these television companies and more, including Comcast.
Oh, you think this is just a community center?
No, it's way more than that.
Comcast is partnering with a thousand community centers to create Wi -Fi -enabled lift zones so students from low -income families can get the tools they need to be ready for anything.
