Updated 11:09 p.m. | While a majority of House Republicans appear ready to support a short-term continuing resolution to keep the government open through Feb. 16, enough Freedom Caucus members remain uncommitted to make passage questionable.

“The votes are not currently there to pass it with just Republicans,” Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows said before a crucial House GOP conference meeting on the topic Tuesday night.

After the meeting and a separate Freedom Caucus gathering, the North Carolina Republican said that view had not changed.

While the 36-member caucus lacked the quorum needed to take an official position on the CR — their rules require 80 percent support — there were enough “no” and “undecided” votes to prevent Republicans from passing it without Democratic support or additional changes, Meadows said. He added that he planned to discuss possible changes with leadership and then continue discussions with his caucus Wednesday.

If passed, the four-week CR that House GOP leaders pitched to their conference Tuesday night would be the fourth stopgap funding measure Congress has deployed since September. With a CR into February, government funding will be operating on autopilot more than a third of the way through fiscal 2018, which began Oct. 1.
