Trump-district Democrats face risky vote on GOP spending bill

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Asked this week if he would support a long-term CR, the Long Island Democrat -- who represents another district carried by Trump last year -- didn't hesitate at all.
48% : Next week's vote on government spending might be one such vote.
46% : "We need to pass full-year spending bills negotiated through a bipartisan process, but the party in power in the House, Senate, and White House has chosen not to do so -- all while President Trump and unelected Billionaire Elon Musk are shutting down legally appropriated funds," Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) said Friday in an email.
45% : In a letter sent Friday to Democratic lawmakers, the top party leaders -- Jeffries, Whip Katherine Clark (Mass.) and Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar (Calif.) -- said the Republicans' bill is a "partisan" effort "that threatens to cut funding for healthcare, nutritional assistance and veterans benefits through the end of the current fiscal year." "That is not acceptable," the Democrats wrote. Democrats have also sought assurances that the White House would spend the money as Congress appropriates in the wake of President Trump and Elon Musk's efforts to slash the federal bureaucracy, which has been a nonstarter for Republicans.
21% : House Democrats in districts carried by President Trump are confronting a potentially risky vote next week when GOP leaders are expected to put their partisan government funding bill on the floor.
