Tonight on @NewsHour: Crime and public safety are the top issues in Tuesday's Chicago mayoral election, but those words mean different things to different people. My report produced by @SaherMKhan and @mattloff. Thanks to @HeatherCherone of @wttw.
The House has passed the omnibus by a vote of 225-201.
9 Republicans voted yes. 4 Rs didn't vote.
1 Democrat voted no.
And Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., voted “present”… by proxy.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans win 218 seats needed to control House, securing slim majority that will complicate party’s ability to govern.
"It's a complete misrepresentation that we're going to cut Social Security or Medicare. It's a scare tactic," @USRepGaryPalmer says about a potential Republican majority in Congress. Live now on @NewsHour
If Republicans win back control of Congress, can they fix inflation? "It depends on whether the White House is willing to work with us," @USRepGaryPalmer tells @JudyWoodruff on @NewsHour.
Has Biden been a drag for Democrats? "No. Not at all," @SpeakerPelosi says. "He's been a great president." Interview airing LIVE now @NewsHour.
"We intend to win," @SpeakerPelosi says to @JudyWoodruff on @NewsHour. " The election is not determined by pundits in Washington. It's determined by the American people." Adds that Ds will respect the outcome.
"I do" see a path for Democrats to maintain control of the House, @SpeakerPelosi tells @JudyWoodruff on @NewsHour. "We have far superior candidates.... Just because history says you can't win is no deterrent."
"Day by day" he gets better, @SpeakerPelosi says about her husband Paul, after he was attacked in their home. "I believe in prayer... he's making progress." @NewsHour
In AP VoteCast survey: 54% of voters have a negative view of the Democratic Party. 51% say the same of the Republican Party.
More behind voter motivations:
One third say their vote is to support Biden.
One third say its to oppose him.
One third say Biden isn't a factor.
Early look at AP VoteCast data and WHY voters are heading to the polls:
50% say inflation is the most important factor in their vote.
44% say the future of democracy.
"I'm confident that Donald Trump and those who would thwart our democratic process will not prevail and I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure that's the case." -@Liz_Cheney closing out conversation with @JudyWoodruff on @NewsHour
Simple question from @judywoodruff to @replizcheney: “Is it better for the country if Republicans take control of the House?”
Long pause and then a not so simple answer from the congresswoman.
@NewsHour
.@RepLizCheney is concerned about election deniers winning next week. “Once you give power to somebody who won't respect an election, you have to ask whether we're going to get any other future elections.” @NewsHour
.@RepLizCheney on @kevinomccarthy: “Every single time he has had to make a choice between what’s right or his political future, he chooses his political future.... we need somebody much better to be speaker."
