The legislation passed 341-82. “Today the GOP majority in the House of Representatives was bailed out by Democrats, as we voted to keep our government from shutting down. A government shutdown would delay flights, stall food safety inspections, increase wait times for Social Security benefits, and much more. Yet Republicans insisted on playing politics with this vote, last week attaching it to poison pill legislation that they knew would fail. “Many of their members still refused to vote for this legislation today since it no longer had extreme MAGA measures attached. Democrats once again stood up for poor and working people, seniors, and all those across the country who would’ve been affected by a government shutdown and kept our government open. “However, this CR only serves to kick the can down the road. I hope that in December when it expires, Republicans are able to work with us to pass a full budget that works for poor and working families.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z |
