WATCH LIVE: House Votes on Trump-Endorsed Government Funding Bill – Democrats Expected to Vote No

The House of Representatives is voting on a newly agreed continuing resolution to fund the government tonight.

A vote for the previous bill to fund the government until March was expected on Wednesday but postponed after conservatives came out in staunch opposition. As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance also slammed Congress ahead of the vote, stating that the bill accomplishes “nothing for the American people” and called for a new “temporary funding bill WITHOUT DEMOCRAT GIVEAWAYS.”

The Gateway Pundit reported on Wednesday that Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) heads Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy came out in opposition to the previous 1,547-page bill, with Musk highlighting several issues that waste taxpayer dollars. “This bill should not pass,“ said Musk, who further noted massive pay raises for members of Congress as well as upgrades in lawmakers’ health insurance plans.

Additionally, the bill contained a section essentially mandating a court to “quash or modify any legal process directed to the provider for a House office if compliance…would require the disclosure of House data of the House office.” This would essentially give the House office exclusive jurisdiction over their records, The Gateway Pundit reported.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, President Trump described the new government funding bill as “VITAL to the America First Agenda” and called on all Republicans to vote in favor.

The new American Relief Act of 2024 “will keep the Government open, fund our Great Farmers and others, and provide relief for those severely impacted by the devastating hurricanes,” said Trump.

The bill also suspends the debt limit for two years, which President Trump demanded in a statement Wednesday.

As expected, the Democrats have come out against the bill, railing against it on the House Floor and accusing Republicans of pandering to billionaires and trying to create a government shutdown. Some Republicans may also oppose the bill, jeopardizing its passage.

The Gateway Pundit reported that President Trump called out Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) on Thursday for obstructing the new funding bill and called for him to be primaried.

"The very unpopular 'Congressman' from Texas, Chip Roy, is getting in the way, as usual, of having yet another Great Republican Victory – All for the sake of some cheap publicity for himself. Republican obstructionists have to be done away with," Trump said.

The House is expected to vote shortly after 6 pm ET.
