Senator Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota, faced backlash after celebrating the passing of the latest government spending bill to avoid a shutdown. The $1.2 trillion federal spending package was approved by the Senate with a 74-24 vote, although it encountered resistance in the House, particularly from Republican representatives.
Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep. Chip Roy, criticized the bill for various reasons. Greene even introduced a motion to vacate House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson for his role in pushing the package through. Roy expressed disappointment over the lack of funds allocated for securing the U.S. southern border, calling out Republicans who supported the bill.
