(Washington, DC) — The House is rejecting the latest spending bill that would avert a government shutdown.
In a Thursday evening vote, almost 40 Republicans voted against the 116-page proposal, which was supported by President-elect Trump. Democrats voted mostly along party lines opposing the bill that included disaster relief money and funding for farmers. The bill would have funded the government through March 14th.
Without legislation, the government will shut down late Friday night.
Minnesota Congressional members Michelle Fischbach, Pete Stauber, Tom Emmer and Brad Finstad voted yes on the spending bill.
