The House will continue to push through appropriations bills today as they anticipate passage of both the Homeland Security, State-Foreign Operations and Defense spending bills before Friday. Those three bills would join the Military Construction-VA measure which passed with four Democratic votes earlier this month giving Republican leadership more leverage in the bipartisan, bicameral government funding talks that are expected to happen after Election Day.
For today, the House is expected to begin consideration of H.R. 8752 – Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2025 as well as H.R. 8771 – Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2025 with last votes around 3:30 P.M.
