House vote on ‘very similar’ spending bill expected Friday morning, GOP lawmaker says

The House is gearing up to vote on another continuing resolution (CR) proposal on Friday morning in a bid to prevent a potential government shutdown, as disclosed by a GOP lawmaker on Capitol Hill. Representative Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican from Florida, expressed optimism about reaching a deal and suggested that a vote could take place at 10 a.m. on Friday.

Luna confidently stated, “I do not believe the government is going to be shutting down. You guys will see some great stuff, very similar to President Trump’s plan yesterday.” She also made it clear that there would be no compromises with the Democrats in the negotiation process.

The Trump-backed spending bill that aimed to avert a government shutdown faced a setback on Thursday night when it failed to secure enough votes in the House of Representatives. The bill required a two-thirds majority to pass, but it fell short, with only a minority of Democrats joining the majority of Republicans in support. Ultimately, 38 GOP lawmakers voted against the bill, leading to its failure.

In light of these developments, the path forward remains uncertain as lawmakers scramble to find a solution before the current funding deadline. The looming threat of a government shutdown adds pressure to the already tense situation in Congress. Stay tuned for further updates on this critical issue.
