House Freedom Caucus Endorses Longer-Term CR to Control Spending and Block Omnibus

Washington, D.C. – The House Freedom Caucus released the following official position: The House Freedom Caucus voted unanimously with our fellow Republicans in support of President Trump to fund the government through November 20, 2025. Over a month later, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer outrageously still refuses to extend current funding levels, which Democrats have previously voted for, so the government remains shut down. In the likely absence of timely passage of regular appropriations bills at or below current levels, Members of the Freedom Caucus support a Continuing Resolution as far into 2026 as possible (ideally, past the November 2026 election and with necessary defense stop-start anomalies), which will effectively keep federal discretionary spending flat at the same levels since 2023, and it will block any further effort by Democrats and the Swamp to advance a budget-busting, pork-filled, lobbyist handout omnibus in November or December. We successfully prevented an omnibus in September 2024, December 2024, and March 2025, thereby keeping spending flat; we cannot now reverse course by allowing spending increases after the progress we have made to date with DOGE and rescissions. We believe a full-year Continuing Resolution will provide President Trump and Republicans the stability and leverage to continue our work to cut spending and rein in out-of-control woke, wasteful, and weaponized government.
