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.

    “This is a deeply partisan spending bill that not only contains completely unnegotiated and unexamined cuts – beyond that, it actually takes away all accountability from the president and strips Congress of their ability to actually review the tariffs that are being put forth by the executive,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York told The Indpendent before the vote.
