House Democrats leave caucus meeting deeply divided on spending bill

House Democrats left a Thursday night caucus meeting just as split on a bipartisan budget deal as they were entering it.

Democratic leaders plan to vote against the measure, which would fund the government through March 23 and outlines a grand omnibus deal agreed to earlier this week, because it doesn’t address the 800,000 so-called Dreamers whose legal status remains in limbo. But even as Pelosi works to pressure House Speaker Paul Ryan for a vote on immigration, she isn’t actively pushing members to vote against it.
