综合美国Axios新闻网、《华尔街日报》等媒体报道,当地时间12月19日,美国国会众议院就一项由众议院共和党人为避免政府关门提出的拨款法案进行表决投票,但未获得通过。该法案获得了美国当选总统的支持,也是此前被否决法案的更新版。
美国国会于今年9月通过了一项将于12月20日到期的临时拨款法案来维持联邦政府的运转。目前,联邦政府资金即将耗尽,如果两党不能在20日前推动新的支出法案在国会通过,联邦政府部分机构将陷入停摆,这将影响到包括空中交通、执法机构及超过200万联邦员工的薪水等一切运作。虽然社会保障金等重要计划将继续运作,但停摆将在圣诞节前的最后几天给许多人带来困扰。
报道称,新法案将确保美国政府的资金能够维持在现有水平直至明年3月14日,并附加超过1000亿美元的灾害援助和农业援助等。
“这就是华盛顿,这就是立法的过程。这是一个漫长的过程。达成共识需要时间,但我们会做正确的事。”众议院议长约翰逊在投票开始前说道。他并未就如果法案未获得通过后会发生什么以及下一步该怎么做作出回应。
最终投票结果为235票反对,174票赞成,其中有38名共和党人投了反对票,2名民主党人投了赞成票。由于未达到通过法案所需的三分之二多数票,该法案被美国国会众议院否决。
《华尔街日报》指出,该法案在共和党控制的议院中未能获得多数票,使得使其再次提交议会讨论的可能性大打折扣,同时也标志着特朗普和陷入困境的约翰逊都遭遇了尴尬的挫折。

当天早些时候,特朗普在社交媒体上表示支持这项新方案,他称所有议员都应投票支持这项方案。而在投票的前一天,特朗普否决了约翰逊与民主党协商达成的临时拨款法案,马斯克也连续发帖“炮轰”约翰逊提出的法案。
根据特朗普发布的声明,共和党人需要通过一项“没有民主党馈赠的临时预算法案”,并将其与提高国家债务上限挂钩,“任何其他事情都是对我们国家的背叛”。美联社指出,这是一个几乎不切实际的提议。
在保守派共和党人和马斯克抨击临时预算案增加了过多的债务支出时,特朗普呼吁提高债务上限,还坚称这必须在拜登任期内实现。《纽约时报》称,这反映出候任总统认识到,当他的政党在明年完全控制国会时,将很难提高债务上限,而他又不想签署这样的法律。许多共和党人拒绝提高债务上限。当前的债务上限预计将于明年一月到期,如果不提高上限,将导致美国国家债务违约。
据报道,新法案的失败使前进的道路再次陷入僵局。投票当天,共和党人进进出出约翰逊的办公室,但几个小时后出来时却没人愿意或无法回答有关下一步如何做的问题。
美国2024财年已于今年9月30日结束,2025财年于今年10月1日开始计算。新财年预算案通常难以在短期内敲定,今年9月,美国国会通过了一项将于12月20日到期的临时拨款法案来维持联邦政府的运转。美国国会必须在此之前采取新的立法行动,为联邦政府继续运转提供资金,否则美政府部分机构将陷入停摆。
值得一提的是,约翰逊一直被视为新议长的热门人选,然而经过此番周折,一些立法者已私下表示,他们不会支持约翰逊在下一届国会中继续担任议长。约翰逊可能会在明年1月3日投票前就被迫退出竞选。
不过,特朗普表示,他继续支持约翰逊。他在接受福克斯新闻采访时表示,如果约翰逊“果断且强硬地采取行动”,消除“民主党人设下的所有陷阱”,他将“轻松连任”。
On the day before the expiration of the temporary funding bill, Trump and Johnson suffered an "awkward setback"
According to reports from media outlets such as Axios News and The Wall Street Journal, on December 19th local time, the US House of Representatives voted on a funding bill proposed by House Republicans to avoid a government shutdown, but it did not pass.
The bill has received the support of the elected president of the United States and is an updated version of the previously rejected bill.
The US Congress passed a temporary funding bill in September this year, which will expire on December 20th, to maintain the operation of the federal government.
At present, federal government funds are about to run out. If the two parties cannot push the new spending bill through Congress by the 20th, some federal government agencies will be shut down, which will affect all operations including air traffic, law enforcement agencies, and salaries of over 2 million federal employees.
Although important programs such as social security will continue to operate, the shutdown will cause inconvenience for many people in the last few days before Christmas.
According to reports, the new bill will ensure that the US government's funding can be maintained at its current level until March 14th next year, and will include over $100 billion in disaster and agricultural aid.
This is Washington, this is the legislative process. It's a long process. Reaching consensus takes time, but we will do the right thing, "said House Speaker Johnson before the vote began.
He did not respond on what would happen if the bill was not passed and what the next steps should be.
The final voting result was 235 against and 174 in favor, with 38 Republicans voting against and 2 Democrats voting in favor.
Due to not reaching the two-thirds majority required to pass the bill, the bill was rejected by the United States House of Representatives.
The Wall Street Journal pointed out that the bill failed to gain a majority vote in the Republican controlled House, greatly reducing the possibility of it being resubmitted to Congress for discussion, and also marking an awkward setback for both Trump and troubled Johnson.

Earlier that day, Trump expressed support for the new plan on social media, stating that all lawmakers should vote in favor of it.
On the day before the vote, Trump vetoed the temporary funding bill negotiated between Johnson and the Democratic Party, and Musk continued to post "attacks" on Johnson's proposed bill.
According to Trump's statement, Republicans need to pass a 'temporary budget bill without Democratic gifts' and link it to raising the national debt ceiling,' anything else is a betrayal of our country '.
The Associated press pointed out that this is an almost unrealistic proposal.
While conservative Republicans and Musk criticized the temporary budget for increasing excessive debt spending, Trump called for raising the debt ceiling and insisted that it must be achieved during Biden's tenure.
The New York Times reported that this reflects the President elect's recognition that it will be difficult to raise the debt ceiling when his party fully controls Congress next year, and he does not want to sign such a law.
Many Republicans refuse to raise the debt ceiling.
The current debt ceiling is expected to mature in January next year, and if it is not raised, it will lead to a default on the US national debt.
According to reports, the failure of the new bill has once again put the path forward at a standstill.
On the day of the vote, Republicans came in and out of Johnson's office, but when they came out a few hours later, no one was willing or able to answer questions about what to do next.
The US fiscal year 2024 ended on September 30th of this year, and the fiscal year 2025 began on October 1st of this year.
The budget for the new fiscal year is usually difficult to finalize in the short term. In September of this year, the US Congress passed a temporary appropriations bill that will expire on December 20th to maintain the operation of the federal government.
The US Congress must take new legislative action before then to provide funding for the continued operation of the federal government, otherwise some government agencies will be shut down.
It is worth mentioning that Johnson has always been seen as a popular candidate for the new Speaker, but after this twists and turns, some lawmakers have privately stated that they will not support Johnson continuing to serve as Speaker in the next Congress.
Johnson may be forced to withdraw from the race before the January 3rd vote next year.
However, Trump stated that he continues to support Johnson.
He stated in an interview with Fox News that if Johnson takes decisive and tough action to eliminate all the traps set by Democrats, he will be easily re elected.
