Only one House Democrat voted in the US House of Representatives voted for a spending bill that Republicans passed to keep the US government open.
The House passed a stopgap spending bill, known as a continuing resolution or “CR,” to keep the government open until September on Tuesday. Only one Republican, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, voted against the legislation.
Rep. Jared Golden of Maine was the only Democrat to join Republicans in the legislation.
Do they matter? They could if a few Repiblicans broke rank and they should oppse this spending billl becsuse it is trash. Plus if the Dems in both houses are united against the bill it shows their supporters that they aren’t caving in like they frequently do.
Fuck Jared, he had no reason to vote for the bill.
No Republican will break rank in this environment
One did on this vote
And neither should any Dems. If we present a united front it makes it easier for Republicans to break ranks or sow discord and there is a wide variety of beliefs in the GOP.
