How Every House Member Voted on the $1.2 Trillion Government Funding Package

The tally was 286-134 with 112 Republicans and 23 Democrats voting against the bill.

The House passed a $1.2 trillion bill on March 22, averting a deadline to fully fund 70 percent of the government.

The tally was 286-134 with 112 Republicans and 23 Democrats voting against the bill, which comes ahead of the March 23 midnight deadline to avoid a partial government shutdown.
The bill, unveiled yesterday, was approved under an expedited process that requires a two-thirds majority for passage—in addition to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) waiving the House rule that requires members to have 72 hours to review legislation before it is voted on.

The bill would fund the departments of State, Defense, Treasury, Homeland Security, Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education.

No funding was allocated through March 2025 for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). UNRWA has come under fire for what critics call propagating hatred for the Jewish state in schools.

The bill also includes $200 million for the new FBI headquarters, which will be built just outside Washington in Greenbelt, Maryland—a contentious issue for Republicans.
