House Repasses Five Full-Year Funding Bills, Restores Government Stability
February 3, 2026
Press Release
Washington, D.C. – Today, the House of Representatives passed the Senate Amendment to H.R. 7148, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, with a vote of 217 to 214. This legislation, which enacts five full-year FY26 appropriations bills previously passed by this chamber, is now on its way to President Trump's desk for signature. The American people deserve a functioning government, and Republicans are continuing to lead responsibly to deliver it. The House previously completed months of bipartisan, bicameral negotiations and passed a final FY26 appropriations agreement, but the Senate subsequently altered that deal, triggering a partial shutdown of the federal government. Despite the challenge, the House has once again moved forward to finish the job, keep the government functioning, and deliver certainty for the nation.
