The House Democratic Caucus can’t settle on the best strategy to oppose President Donald Trump’s agenda, including whether government spending is the right place to take a stand.
Democrats are under intense pressure from their base to do something to stop Trump, but they’ve struggled to coalesce around what that resistance should look like. That rift broke into the open again on Thursday when some Democrats joined Republicans to vote to censure Rep. Al Green for interrupting Trump’s address to Congress.
With government funding set to expire next week, Democrats are divided on whether they should help Republicans avoid a shutdown.
