The Spin

Republican narrative

Over the past two years, Democrats have had plenty of time to push through trillions of dollars in wasteful spending to satisfy their donors, so there's no reason for the GOP to partner with its liberal colleagues except to pass this stop-gap bill. When Republicans take control of the House next month, they'll be able to allocate the funds appropriately for both defense and prudent social programs.

Federalist

Democratic narrative

The Democrats are trying hard to reach their colleagues across the aisle to resolve this challenge in the best interest of the country, as the GOP is doing everything it can to postpone this much-needed bill into next year. This is a dangerous move that will likely see conservative lawmakers hold their votes hostage to force leadership to cave to their demands, ultimately leading to a government shutdown anyway.
