The House passed a short-term bill on Friday to open the government for the new fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, but is likely to refuse Senate When the Democrats push for another plan.
House votes from 217-212 show that Democrats are united in opposition Republican Party What they think is parking plans are not enough because it cannot protect Americans from price cuts in health care costs or check-ups by the President Trump’s “Lawless.”
Only one Democrat, Maine Rep. Jared Golden, voted to pass Republicans to keep the government open.
Two Republicans voted against the bill, known as the Continuing Resolution or CR, which extends most current spending levels and policies until November 21.
The measure includes some typical CR anomalies to provide flexibility for higher spending in certain programs such as impacting national defense, disaster prevention and response, and food aid.
this Republican Party Opponents were Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Victoria Spartz of Indiana.

Mr. Massi argues that parking stations have retained the status quo since the Biden administration, as Republicans have not yet formulated spending bills for the full year during Mr. Mr. Trump’s Second semester.
Ms Spasse opposes extending fund deadline until before Thanksgiving, fears Republican Party Leaders will use the holidays to put pressure on members to support bad deals on new spending bills.
Other Republicans believe CR is clean, which means there is no partisan rider, so there is no reason for Democrats to object to it.
“This tailored, straightforward approach is exactly what the Democrats had asked before,” said Tom Cole, a Republican in Oklahoma House Appropriations Chairman. “Now, they reject the partisan struggle to create preparations that are not related to appropriations. It makes me very clear: closing doesn’t help our full-year bills or support the work of the American people.”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries believes Republicans are in charge of any closure because they control Congress and the White House parliament and choose not to negotiate with the Democrats.
“This is a closure for Republicans,” said the New York Democrat. “We are fighting for health care for the American people.”
Expected in Senate When the bill was accepted late Friday, it meant failure, as 60 votes were required to overcome the filo votes in the upper room.
This means at least seven Senate Democrats need support Republican Party bill. Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman has only one public statement that he will vote to block the closure even if he agrees to the party’s health care goals.
“It’s always wrong to shut down our government,” Mr Fettman said.
this Senate The alternative plan for Democrats will be voted first – Voting Democrats secured a vote by playing hard balls on the weekends and next week’s Jewish holidays.
The vote is expected to drop to the required 60 votes Republican Party Opposition, leading to a second vote on Republican measures. If it fails, the senator will be in a deadlock as expected.
The freeze of democracy is shorter. It only expands current funds to October 31. Republican Party version, it aims to provide grantors with more time to meet full-year bills.
The biggest difference is that the Democrats have added focus on health care. They suggest going backward Republican Party– Pandemic cuts for the Obamacare senior tax credits that will end at the end of the year by removing illegal immigrants from Medicaid and permanently expanding Democrats.
“Americans will see a clear contrast between Republican plans, continuing the status quo Donald Trump’s Healthcare cuts and high costs and democratic plans avoid closures while reducing premiums, fixing Medicaid and protecting funding for scientific and medical research,” Senate said Charles E. Schumer, a minority leader for the Democrats in New York.
His reference to the Protection Research Fund is about provisions in the bill that would restore funds for White House management and other programs frozen by the National Institutes of Health and other programs.
Democrats believe that the OMB’s move to withhold funds indefinitely is an illegal water storage of Congress grants and has added other guardrails to its CR to prevent the Trump administration from doing so in the future.
Their measures also restored Republicans’ vote to cut their $9 billion public broadcast funding to revoke their plans.
