JUST IN: House Passes Trump-Backed CR Bill โ€“ Massie is Lone Republican Holdout


House passes CR โ€“ March 11, 2025

The House of Representatives has passed the Trump-backed Continuing Resolution, which is expected to help extend President Trumpโ€™s tax cuts. 

Thomas Massie was the lone Republican vote, previously calling the CR a โ€œUNIPARTY deal.โ€ He added, โ€œIt doesnโ€™t fund the wall. It does fund USAID. The democrats depart for a retreat on Wednesday, so theyโ€™ve already agreed to provide enough votes to pass the CR.โ€

Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) joined Republicans in voting for the CR.

Eric Burlison (R-MO) was another Republican critic of the bill who ended up voting in favor. โ€œI would never support this language, but I do trust Donald Trump,โ€ he said.

The bill passed 217-213, and Republicans broke into cheers.

The House will now recess until March 24.

House Republicans championed the billโ€™s passage on X, saying,

House Republicans voted today to keep the government open.

Democrats were unified in shutting down the government.

There is a stark contrast.

In a move many supporters disagree with, President Trump has declared war on Thomas Massie, a fiscal conservative, because of his plans to vote no on the bill.
