(Anna Moneymaker\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 3:24 PM PT \u2013 Wednesday, August 25, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>House Democrats have voted to advance their $3.5 trillion budget resolution. After much debate, it came down to a 220 to 212 vote, strictly along party lines on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>This would allow Democrats to write and pass their own spending package without Republican support. However, it also includes a non-binding commitment to take up the Senate-passed infrastructure deal by Sept. 27.<\/p>\n<p>This comes after centrists Democrats refused to move forward with any of the Democrat House leadership\u2019s agenda before there were assurances they would move to pass the bipartisan infrastructure deal first. In addition, the far-reaching vote advanced Democrats\u2019 so-called voting rights bill, which the House passed later Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Proud to vote today to advance President Biden\u2019s historic <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BuildBackBetter?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BuildBackBetter<\/a> agenda!

It is an embarrassing day to America,\u201d stated McCarthy. \u201cIt\u2019s an embarrassing day for this floor, and it\u2019s embarrassing that you would even move forward with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The California Republican also condemned Democrats for essentially ignoring the disastrous Afghan withdrawal, arguing Congress should be drafting legislation to help get Americans stranded in the war-torn country back home and to ensure the Taliban takeover does not pose a threat to U.S. national security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocrats called us back for an emergency session, the first session since Kabul fell to the Taliban. But faced with a national security and credibility crisis in Afghanistan, they have done nothing to plan to address it,\u201d said McCarthy.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile at his press briefing on Tuesday, Joe Biden praised House leadership for moving the packages forward with no bipartisan agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Democrats hope to fit in a number of their major agenda items in the budget package, including investments in far-left climate policy, an expansion to Medicare and universal Pre-K education.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/mo-ag-sues-school-district-for-imposing-mask-mandate-on-children\/\">Mo.
