Earlier this week, conservative groups the Club for Growth and Heritage Action urged “no” votes on a bill to fund the government for the rest of the year. On Wednesday, most House Republicans bucked that demand. The House passed a $1.1 trillion spending bill to keep the government running for the rest of the fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. It was approved on a vote of 359-67, with 166 of those yes votes coming from Republicans. A total of 64 Republicans voted against it. Who were those Republicans voting no? Mostly fiscal conservatives, and as the Washington Post points out, some who are running for Senate seats: Reps. Paul Broun, Phil Gingrey and Jack Kingston, all of Georgia; Rep. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Rep. Steve Daines of Montana. House Speaker John Boehner — who criticized conservative groups for slamming the budget deal struck by Rep. Paul Ryan and Sen. Patty Murray late last year — voted yes.
