House Democrats will hold a «Day of Action» across the country to push back against the GOP-backed spending bill to avert a government shutdown.
House Democrats will hold a «Day of Action» across the country on Tuesday to «aggressively» push back against the «diabolical Republican scheme to enact the largest Medicaid cut in our nation’s history» after Congress passed a spending bill to avert a government shutdown.
The Senate voted 54-46 on Friday to pass the stopgap spending bill, with Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., as the only Republican to oppose the measure. Nearly all Democrat senators opposed it, but Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine, who caucuses with the Democrats, voted to pass the bill.
Earlier in the week, the GOP-controlled House passed the short-term bill, otherwise known as a continuing resolution, which will keep spending levels the same as fiscal year 2024 until Oct. 1.
If a spending bill was not passed by the Friday deadline, the government would have entered into a partial shutdown.
