Senate Democratic leaders will urge Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Appropriations Chairman Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) to renegotiate their proposals to fund the government and avoid a shutdown
Senate Democratic leaders on Tuesday will urge Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Appropriations Chairman Richard Shelby to renegotiate their proposals to fund the government and avoid a shutdown.
“Democrats have long made clear that we will not support appropriations bills that include these funding allocations,” the Democrats wrote. Republicans have bristled at the Democratic complaints, with McConnell saying earlier Tuesday that he saw "troubling signals from the Democratic side." The letter comes ahead of a test vote Wednesday set up by Mitch McConnell on a House-passed spending package that is expected to fail.
