Vote Republican?
January 24, 2026
A $1.2 trillion spending bill passed the House on Thursday. It included at least $10 million in abortion and transgender funding. Rep. Ralph Norman offered an amendment to remove the funding. It failed by a vote of 136-297, with 76 Republicans voting against removing the abortion and transgender funding and 8 conveniently not voting. See the House vote here. Please tell me again why Christians or anyone opposed to abortion or transgender nonsense should vote Republican?
