Maine Congressman supports Trump-backed funding bill

Democratic Congressman Jared Golden from Maine voted with House Republicans to support a funding bill backed by former President Donald Trump. The bill passed the House by a narrow margin of 217-213, with Golden and Republican Thomas Massie breaking party lines. Golden stated that while the bill is not perfect, it prevents a government shutdown, which he believes would cause chaos. The bill includes funding for military personnel, disaster relief, immigration enforcement, and telehealth services for Medicare. The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration. If approved, it will fund the government until September 30.
