House passes bills to fund DC, parks and medical research

House passes bills to fund DC, parks and medical research

The House approved three targeted spending resolutions to the Senate on Wednesday, daring Senate Democrats to vote against measures to immediately fund the District of Columbia, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Park Service.

The bills are part of the House Republican plan to pass spending bills in areas where there is bipartisan agreement in order to spare some pieces of the government from the shutdown.

But while Democrats support these priorities, they mostly opposed attempts to pass them in the House.
