WASHINGTON—The House on Sept. 18 failed to pass a temporary spending fix that would have forestalled a government shutdown.

The GOP measure, which would have extended the government funding deadline by six months, was rejected by the House in a 202–220 vote, including 14 Republicans who voted against it. Three Democrats supported the bill. Two members voted “present.”
