There was only one Democrat to vote against the spending package

35. 770plus was for social programs, 800 plus was for DOD.

Do you think we will do better under the Republicans in January, because I am pretty sure Democratic priorities won’t be as well received in a week.

Option 1 pass the best possible bill we can keeping in mind a minimum of 10 Republican votes are needed

Option 2 pass a short term CR and let the Republican House Majority tale over the process in January (a bad choice)

Option 3, do nothing, let the government shut down over Christmas, give the republicans the chance to further hold the budget hostage in January, come out with a bill that sucks and claim moral victory that at least you did not vote for a bill that had some provisions you did not like but actually helped your constituents and helped millions who needed help

Only one person in the Democratic caucus chose to vote with the republicans and one chose to vote present.
