House GOP’s DHS funding measure survives critical hurdle but path uncertain in Senate

House Republicans' gambit to end the ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown survived a critical hurdle on Friday evening, teeing up a chamber-wide vote that will put the chamber on a collision course with the Senate. 

The House Rules Committee advanced a two-month DHS stopgap measure after House GOP leadership vigorously rejected a Senate-passed deal earlier on Friday with House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., dubbing the funding bill a "joke." President Donald Trump also criticized the Senate bill in an interview with Fox News.
