The funding bill at hand is expected to advance through the committee on party lines. Democrats on the panel are likely to oppose the measure in line with House Democratic leaders, while Republicans have signaled no meaningful opposition.
Reps. Chip Roy, R-Texas, and Ralph Norman, R-S.C., the two Republicans on the committee who have most often opposed GOP leaders' legislation for not being conservative enough, both suggested they would be supportive of the funding measure.
Roy told Fox News Digital on Monday night that he would vote "yes" on the bill on the House floor, meaning he would likely not oppose it in the House Rules Committee.
The Texas Republican is currently running to be attorney general of the Lone Star State.
Norman told Fox News Digital via text message Tuesday morning, when asked about both his Rules Committee and House floor votes, "My support is based on READING the FINE PRINT as it relates to the 3 bills especially VERIFYING the top line spending limits as we previously passed."
"If ‘THE FINE PRINT MATCHES’ what's being reported, I will be a yes," Norman said.

The South Carolina Republican, who is running for governor, was referring to three full-year spending bills that are part of the latest bipartisan compromise passed by the Senate on Monday night.
Terms of the deal include a new extension of fiscal year (FY) 2025 federal funding levels through Jan. 30, in order to give congressional negotiators more time to strike a longer-term deal on FY 2026 spending.

There will first be a "rule vote" for the bill where lawmakers are expected to green-light debate on the House floor, followed by a vote on the measure itself sometime Wednesday evening.

House schedules for both Tuesday and Wednesday were left intentionally fluid to allow for lawmakers to return to Washington amid nationwide flight delays and cancellations, mostly imposed by the shutdown.
The House was last in session on Sept. 19, when lawmakers passed legislation to keep the government funded through Nov. 21.
It passed with support from one House Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, and opposition from two Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Victoria Spartz, R-Ind.
No further House Republicans have signaled public opposition to the new measure so far.
