Although Republicans have a 238 to 193 majority in the House, the Freedom Caucus, which numbers about three dozen Republicans, announced they would oppose the accord. That means Ryan and his allies likely will have to rely on support from some Democrats.
Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, who emphasized her opposition with an unprecedented eight-hour address on the House floor Wednesday, said she won’t vote for the budget deal without a firm commitment from Ryan on immigration. Nonetheless, she called it “a good bill.”
“I’m pleased with the product, I’m not pleased with the process,” she said Thursday at a news conference. Asked whether she’s pressing House Democrats to vote against it, Pelosi said, “I’m just telling people why I’m voting the way I’m voting.”
The House Democratic leadership team sent a notice to members, obtained by Bloomberg News, saying that the deal fails to provide a path to legislation that would protect young undocumented people from deportation and urging them to vote against it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...cid=spartanntp
Lot of words to say GOP is the cause of the shutdown.
paul is allowing the vote which will pass the senate...they will vote around 1-2am.....
the house should vote around dawn..... questionable if it will pass the house.....conservative caucus(only about 36 extreme conservatives) doesn't like the spending...and the democrats don't like no daca.... if the house fails it, it will be because of the liberals that are more concerned about illegals than actual citizens
Nope, your party is in charge there are 238 R's in the house. They have the votes to pass this bill, they should be able to do it without one democrat. It's absurd to try to blame it on anyone other than Paul Ryan and his ship of fools, nice try though
Judging from the title of this thread that shut down chapter 2 is all the fault of Democrats, Fox and Breitbart must have joined the "fake news" crew.
From Fox news:
The U.S. Senate has recessed until Friday at 12:01 a.m. ET without approving a budget deal, which means a short government shutdown is assured. A last-minute maneuver by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., delayed consideration of a bipartisan budget package to keep the government open past midnight.
The government stumbled into a midnight shutdown Thursday as a rogue Senate Republican blocked a speedy vote on a massive, bipartisan, budget-busting spending deal, protesting the return of trillion-dollar deficits on the watch of Republicans controlling Washington.
A shutdown — technically a lapse in agency appropriations — became inevitable as GOP Sen. Rand Paul repeatedly held up votes on the budget plan, which is married to a six-week government-wide spending measure. The Senate recessed around 11 p.m. with plans to reconvene just after midnight.
The party of "careless custodians of classified material."
The party of "incompetent governance."
The party of "law breakers over law enforcement"
There's a pattern emerging here.
