The measure passed 217-212, with Democratic Rep. Jared Golden of Maine joining 216 Republicans in voting “yea.”
Two GOP lawmakers — Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Victoria Spartz of Indiana — voted against the bill.
The spending bill funds the government at current levels through Nov. 21, at which point Republicans may again have a point of leverage with the Thanksgiving recess fast approaching.
“I am willing to vote for a CR of any duration—short or long—the least damage to the Republic, but I cannot support one that ends funding right before a major holiday to jam us with an Omnibus. I’ve seen this playbook too many times,” Spartz wrote on X Sunday.
Friday’s legislation earmarked $58 million in extra funding for the security of federal officials and judges, with $30 million set aside for the executive branch and $28 million for Supreme Court justices.
Another $30 million will be placed in a fund to reimburse local law enforcement with help protecting members of Congress.
Senate Democrats struck a deal with Republicans to put their own funding measure on the floor later Friday, which is expected to fail in the GOP-controlled upper chamber.
Democrats in both chambers of Congress, however, had opposed the funding bill and vowed not to support it without further provisions protecting ObamaCare subsidies that expire at the end of this year.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) will place the House Republican bill on the floor for a final vote after that.
If passed, it will head to President Trump’s desk.
“Congressional Republicans, including [Senate Majority] Leader John Thune and [House] Speaker Mike Johnson, are working on a short term ‘CLEAN’ extension of Government Funding to stop Cryin’ Chuck Schumer from shutting down the Government,” Trump posted on his Truth Social Monday.
“In times like these, Republicans have to stick TOGETHER to fight back against the Radical Left Democrat demands, and vote ‘YES!’ on both Votes needed to pass a Clean CR this week,” he said.

“In times like these, Republicans have to stick TOGETHER to fight back against the Radical Left Democrat demands, and vote ‘YES!’ on both Votes needed to pass a Clean CR this week,” he said.
The White House also urged the GOP to support the bill in a separate policy statement Wednesday.
“President Trump opposes a Government shutdown,” that statement read, “and every Member of Congress must support passage of this clean, short-term CR to keep the Government open as discussions on full-year appropriations continue.”
