Both Republicans and Democrats opposed the stopgap funding bill, which was tied to new rules requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote.

The House speaker’s spending plan lost critical support despite his inclusion of “election integrity” measures.

The legislation, which would fund the government for about six months and require proof of citizenship to register to vote, fell short.

The House on Wednesday voted down Speaker Mike Johnson's funding plan with 14 Republicans voting against it and two others voting present.

House Republicans are expected to derail their own plan to avert a government shutdown, which they've tied to a Donald Trump-backed bill on noncitizen voting.

Next steps on government funding are uncertain. Lawmakers are not close to completing work on the dozen annual appropriations bills that will fund federal agencies during the next fiscal year, so they’ll need to approve a stopgap measure to prevent a partial shutdown when that budget year begins Oct.
