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. This vote rejected limiting debate on a proposal to begin considering the bill, so the Senate did not begin considering it through this route. The vote was 47–50, short of the three-fifths threshold. It was not a vote to pass or reject the bill itself.
