The claim simplifies the legislative situation, which involves partisan disputes over what provisions should be included in the funding bill. It does not mention Democratic proposals for alternative legislation or Republican refusal to negotiate, but the core fact—that Democrats voted down a GOP bill and the shutdown deadline loomed—is correct, as reported by the AP, NPR, and others.

Thank you for your answer. It was concise and you cited multiple sources which was very helpful. I especially appreciated the NPR source as it provides much ore context for the original claim.
