Pelosi, a leading Democrat in the House, however, is saying the bill presents a "false choice."
"Donald Trump and Elon Musk have offered the Congress a false choice between a government shutdown or a blank check that makes a devastating assault on the well-being of working families across America," she wrote on X.
"Let’s be clear," she went on, "neither is a good option for the American people. But this false choice that some are buying instead of fighting is unacceptable."
Pelosi commended House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and House Democrats for overwhelmingly voting against the bill.

He slammed congressional Republicans for having "abdicated their responsibility" to keep Trump’s power in check.
"America was founded on the concept of checks and balances, but Republicans in Congress have decided to bend their knee to Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their cronies who seek to gut our government from the inside out. It is dangerous," he said.
"Democrats have the ability to force bipartisanship and bring the two sides together to make a budget that reflects priorities we all ought to share," he added. "I urge a no vote on the Continuing Resolution."
