<p>Democrats in Congress have begun to celebrate parts of the &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; — a measure they voted against.</p>
<p>Reps. Sharice Davids (D-KS) and Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) issued a <a href="https://cleaver.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/following-bipartisan-push-reps-cleaver-davids-congress-passes-625" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joint press release</a> last week touting a <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1/text" target="_blank" rel="noopener">provision</a> tucked into the legislation that locked in $625 million for World Cup security. While the pair heralded a bipartisan push to secure funds geared toward safety across the 11 host cities in the United States for the 2026 tournament — in particular Kansas City, which has a metropolitan area that spans both their districts — they left out any mention of the vehicle by which the money passed.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’ve been proud to work with Congressman Cleaver and a bipartisan group of colleagues to advocate for these much-needed resources, and I’ll keep working to make sure Kansas City is ready to shine on the global stage,&#8221; Davids said.</p>
<p>&#8220;After joining with representatives from across the country to push for federal investments that will ensure a safe and orderly event, I’m very happy that we were able to secure $625 million to support security efforts in the 11 host cities, including Kansas City,&#8221; added Cleaver.</p>
<p>Both Democrats are <a href="https://davids.house.gov/CFWCC" target="_blank" rel="noopener">co-chairs</a> of the Congressional FIFA World Cup 2026 Caucus, which also has Republican members.</p>
<p>The &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill,&#8221; which is hundreds of pages long, aims to fulfill many of President Donald Trump’s spending goals in his second term. Democrats, along with a couple of GOP holdouts, criticized the measure over its Medicaid reforms, as well as concerns about the debt and tax cuts benefiting the wealthy.</p>
<p><a href="https://davids.house.gov/media/press-releases/davids-opposes-partisan-bill-slashes-health-care-food-benefit-billionaires" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Davids</a> and <a href="https://cleaver.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-cleavers-statement-vote-against-republicans-big-ugly-bill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cleaver</a> were among those in their party to criticize the overall bill, but GOP lawmakers got the final laugh after they found out their colleagues across the aisle were bragging about a part of the legislation they actually liked.</p>
<p>&#8220;Oddly enough, this funding is provided through Republicans’ One Big, Beautiful Bill, which passed with zero Democrat votes,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/RepMarkAlford/status/1944028474173468811" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quipped</a> Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO) in a post on X in response to a local report on the announcement by Davids and Cleaver.</p>
<p>&#8220;All House Democrats voted no on the One Big Beautiful Bill yet they are starting to claim the dough,&#8221; Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI), chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, <a href="https://x.com/RepLisaMcClain/status/1944818057085382815" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in another post.</p>
<p>Republicans have <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/06/10/house-republicans-infrastructure-funding-vote-no-00162361" target="_blank" rel="noopener">similarly</a> been called out in the past for cheering parts of a bill they opposed.</p>
