Government Shutdown 2014: The 57 House Democrats Who Voted For The $1.1 Trillion Spending Bill
Fifty-seven House Democrats voted for the $1.1 trillion spending bill Thursday just before 10 p.m., narrowly avoiding a government shutdown. It passed 219 to 206 -- barely.
Although President Barack Obama endorsed the omnibus bill Thursday afternoon, several high-profile Democrats came out against it, among them House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Most Democratic objections centered around Republican-backed changes to the Dodd-Frank financial regulations and adjustments to campaign finance laws.
Last-ditch efforts to persuade Democrats to support the bill included phone calls from the president and a nighttime meeting attended by White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough.
