Democrats in Congress are showing signs of frustration as Republicans continue to push forward with their own funding priorities, ignoring Democratic input in the process. With only 10 weeks remaining until a potential government shutdown, Democratic leaders appear unsure about their strategy to counter Republican moves.
According to Politico, in the House, Republicans are moving ahead with deep spending cuts and adding conservative policies to funding bills, including restrictions on abortions and blocks on federal diversity hiring initiatives. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats, despite having more power due to the 60-vote requirement, haven’t taken a strong stance against these measures.
