House Democratic leaders said shortly before the vote that their caucus would back the Republican speaker’s measure to extend government funding, giving it the support to pass over G.O.P. objections.
The vote was 336 to 95, clearing the two-thirds threshold required for passage. In the end, 209 Democrats and 127 Republicans joined to pass the bill. Ninety-three Republicans opposed it, as did two Democrats.
While this is technically bipartisan, a majority of the votes are from Democrats. Once again it’s up to congressional Democrats to save the GOP from itself (not to mention America from the GOP) and keep the government functioning.

Yes. They stated they would vote for a clean bill and then did what they said. Like adults.
