WASHINGTON, D.C. (WRN) — Wisconsin’s delegation voted along partisan lines Thursday as the U.S. House passed a budget bill.
It includes trillions of dollars in cuts to taxes and government spending. Wisconsin Republican Scott Fitzgerald said in a statement “With ‘one big, beautiful bill,’ we’re advancing President Trump’s America First agenda and putting our country back on a path to prosperity.”
Wisconsin Democrat Gwen Moore tweeted that “Every single Republican in the Wisconsin Congressional delegation just voted on a budget resolution to cut billions in federal funds for BadgerCare, directly endangering their most vulnerable constituents, while adding trillions to the national debt.”
The House bill has deeper spending cuts than the one passed by the Senate, and the two versions must be merged into one bill for Trump to sign into law.
Representative Mark Pocan joined Moore and all other House Democrats who voted “no.” Wisconsin Republicans Bryan Steil, Derrick Van Orden, Tom Tiffany, Glenn Grothman and Tony Weid joined Fitzgerald in voting “yes.”
