Senate vote #537 · 2025H.R. 5371
Yea

Limit debate to begin considering the fiscal 2026 funding bill

AI-assisted summary

H.R. 5371 would temporarily fund federal agencies for fiscal 2026, add security funding, and extend several expiring programs and authorities. This vote rejected limiting debate on the step to begin considering the bill, by 55–45, short of the required three-fifths majority. The Senate did not begin considering the bill as a result of this vote; it did not decide whether to pass the bill.

Limit debate on the 2026 continuing appropriations bill

AI-assisted summary

S. 2882 would continue federal funding for fiscal year 2026 and address health care tax credits, Medicaid, and other programs.
