Democrats tout projects funded by a bill they voted against

WASHINGTON — For years, Democrats railed against Republicans who voted against government spending bills and then touted the money delivered home to their districts.
But now, in the Republican-controlled Congress during President Donald Trump’s second term, numerous House Democrats are doing the same thing.
That includes at least three Democrats in swing districts who voted no on last month’s government funding package, along with most of the party over its failure to extend expiring funds under the Affordable Care Act. That standoff led to a 43-day shutdown. But after the government reopened, largely with GOP votes, these Democrats claimed credit for some provisions in the bill, including funding they sought to include as it was developed.
