House GOP erupts over Senate’s overnight move to fund pieces of DHS

Speaker Mike Johnson does not currently have the House votes to approve the Senate’s early morning funding measure to fund large swaths of the Department of Homeland Security.

But the House Republican leader and his team are so furious about the bill that they do not want to put it to a vote on the floor. At issue, multiple GOP sources say, is that Senate Republicans did not include money for federal immigration enforcement or border patrol in the funding bill that would reopen the remainder of the department.

“The one thing I can tell you is that there is a common disgust from our leadership team and from our members about what they did over in the Senate, and it really was not appropriate,” House Majority Whip Tom Emmer said Friday morning.

Enraged House conservatives, meanwhile, publicly blasted the bill they said Senate Majority Leader John Thune jammed through his chamber in the middle of the night, with no roll call vote or the chance to debate it. And some in the House GOP leadership team are seriously contemplating whether to reject the measure altogether and put forward their own proposal, the sources said – though no decisions have yet been made.

It would pas if the House voted on it. They just wouldn't have a GOP majority voting yes.
