For what purpose does the gentlewoman from Connecticut seek recognition?
Guess what?
We request a recorded vote.
Does the gentlewoman ask with great surprise?
The yays and nays are requested.
While 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.
Two Democrats voted in support of the bill, and 20 members did not vote.
An earlier bipartisan effort was pulled when it was opposed by a number of Republican members and Donald Trump.
Congress is facing a Friday midnight deadline to avoid a government shutdown.
Follow live House coverage here on C-SPAN.
House Speaker Mike Johnson briefly spoke after the House failed to pass a funding bill to avert a government shutdown on Friday at midnight.
Quote, we're going to regroup and we'll come up with another solution.
So stay tuned, Speaker Johnson said after the vote.
Watch out.
Watch out.
Move back.
Sorry, thank you, sir.
It's 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.
Will you drop the debt limit demand?
