Senate Democrats eyeing the presidency in 2020 cast split votes on the government spending bill passed by Congress, reflecting disputes within the party over immigration enforcement.
California’s Kamala Harris, Massachusetts’s Elizabeth Warren, New York’s Kirsten Gillibrand and New Jersey’s Cory Booker — all of whom have announced they’re seeking the party’s presidential nomination — were among the 16 senators who voted against the legislation that keeps the government open and provides more money for border control and deportations.
