Missouri Reps Split on Party Lines as Government Funding Bill Passes

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a government funding bill Wednesday with a vote of 222-209, with Missouri's congressional delegation voting strictly along party lines. All six Republican representatives from Missouri supported the legislation, while both Democratic representatives opposed it. The bill, which now heads to President Donald Trump's desk, is expected to end what has been described as the longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history.
