President Donald Trump’s spending bill passed the House of Representatives on Wednesday, but the voting breakdown may leave some scratching their heads. While the White House is spinning the bill as a win, it actually passed with more support from Democrats than from Republicans.
The bill passed 309-188 with four members not voting. Of the 309 representatives that voted for the bill, 177 were Democrats and only 132 were Republicans. Of the 118 ‘no’ votes only 16 were Democrats, while 102 were Republicans.
