But, with the House in the pubs hands, doesn’t this mean a number of pubs voted against the bills?

[1010RD]

You need a 2/3 majority to pass a suspension bill. They're usually noncontroversial 'gimme' bills.

Thirty-three of the 197 Democrats joined every Republican to support the veterans funding bill. Thirty-four crossed over to support a measure allowing the district of Columbia to temporarily determine its own spending priorities. And just 22 Democrats voted to support a bill funding 'National Park Service operations, the Smithsonian Institution, the National Gallery of Art, and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.'

They're testing the Dems and slapping down the moderates.
