The bill now goes to the Senate, where many Democrats oppose it but are not ready to vote against it yet

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.

    Anyone in Jared Golden’s district should express their extreme disapproval with his vote.

      Jared golden won a red district as a Democrat, and usually votes what he thinks is best for his constituents. Not saying I agree with his vote, but I respect him for it

      The irony is, he only keeps getting elected as a centrist. He’s like our Manchin, but D2 is going to be the worst effected by Trumptariffs.
