One Democrat supports Republican bill to prevent shutdown

independent.co.uk

The House of Representatives passed a Republican spending bill to prevent a government shutdown, with only one Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden, voting in favor. The bill includes significant cuts to various programs, leading to opposition from most House Democrats. The legislation now moves to the Senate, where many Democrats oppose it due to a lack of input in its creation. However, most Senate Democrats are waiting to see if it will pass before making a final decision. Republicans aim to use this bill as a step toward advancing President Trump's domestic policy agenda, including budget reconciliation to bypass a filibuster for future legislation.
