 These 9 House Republicans broke from the party to vote for stopgap funding bill

Nine House Republicans voted with Democrats on Wednesday to pass a stopgap funding bill that will avert a government shutdown, despite GOP leadership recommending a “no” vote.

The House passed the one-week continuing resolution in a 224-201 vote, which will push Friday’s funding deadline to Dec. 23, giving appropriators more time to approve spending for the rest of fiscal 2023.

It now heads to the Senate, which is expected to take up the measure before Friday’s deadline. If passed and signed into law by President Biden, the continuing resolution will keep the government funded at current levels until Dec. 23.

Nine House Republicans crossed the aisle and joined all voting Democrats in backing the measure: Reps. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), Liz Cheney (Wyo.), Chris Jacobs (N.Y.), Anthony Gonzalez (Ohio), John Katko (N.Y.), Jaime Herrera Beutler (Wash.), Fred Upton (Mich.), Steve Womack (Ark.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.).

Herrera Beutler and Womack are both members of the House Appropriations Committee. Kinzinger, Jacobs, Gonzalez, Katko, Upton, Womack and Fitzpatrick voted for the continuing resolution signed into law at the end of September, which kicked the funding deadline to Dec. 16. Lawmakers are now trying to push that back even further.

If Fred Upton has EVER not voted with the Democrats, I'm not aware of the instance.

Kinzinger, Cheney, Jacobs, Gonzalez, Katko, Herrera Beutler and Upton are all leaving the House at the end of this Congress after either opting against running for reelection or losing bids for another term.

Screwing the country all the way out the door....

The good news is they are leaving, just not soon enough.

If the Pubs keep putting establishment types in leadership you just can't help but wonder what's the point in fighting.

AND,no doubt,getting a nice off-shore payday to help ease their way into unemployment,where they MIGHT have to start spending their OWN money.

Well,that is not really true. We all know they are all going to end up working for some political lobby group in DC,and selling their connections for fun and profit.

It's all about selling influence,in office or out of office.
