House Democrats launched multiple efforts to delay a vote on House GOP's 45-day continuing resolution Saturday after Republicans pushed their plan to the floor for a vote.
Democrats filed a motion to adjourn the House in an effort to get more time to review the GOP legislation and citing trust issues with their colleagues across the aisle. While the effort failed, Democrats successfully stalled the vote for just under an hour as Democrats reviewed the resolution. During the motion to adjourn, which was voted against by both parties, Democrats voted one-by-one by hand in a bid to stall the vote on the stop-gap bill.
"We have serious trust issues. So at this time, I'm making a motion to adjourn," House Minority Whip Katherine Clark said on the House floor. The stop-gap bill would be for 45 days and does not have funding for Ukraine but does include disaster relief funds. The bill needs a two-thirds vote of the House to pass it because it is being voted on suspension.
