The House has adopted a rule to consider the chamber's version of the Labor-HHS appropriations bill in a party line tally of 217-209.
The spending package includes controversial provisions such as eliminating Title X grants, which help fund family planning programs, along with deep spending cuts to health agencies of HHS, CDC and NIH.
The other side: On Monday, the White House released a statement pledging that President Biden would veto the legislation, citing concerns with the Title X and topline funding numbers for the CDC and CMS, among other issues.
What we're watching: The House will now debate the bill, with a vote likely scheduled for later this week.
The two-step CR is also due to be up for a vote under suspension this afternoon.
