The House passed legislation Tuesday that would fund the government through Dec. 3 and extend the debt limit until after the 2022 elections.
The party-line vote was 220-211, with no Republicans joining Democrats in supporting the bill.
The broad GOP opposition foreshadows trouble in the Senate, where at least 10 Republicans are needed to defeat a filibuster. House Republican leaders pressured their members to oppose the bill.
