It sounds like a bunch of Democrats want to cave in exchange for no concessions whatsoever. Edit: Bloomberg has more details
Current likely Democratic votes for this:
- Shaheen - NH
- Hassan - NH
- King - ME
- Fetterman - PA
- Peters - MI
- Durbin - IL
- Warner - VA
- Kaine - VA
- Ossoff- GA
- Warnock - GA
If you want to change things, you need to call their DC office NOW, and leave an email if you can’t.
Edit 2: enough Democrats joined the Republicans to reopen the government with no real concessions.
The list:
- Durbin
- Hassan
- King
- Cortez Masto
- Kaine
- Shaheen
- Rosen
- Fetterman
- Schumer
- Gillibrand
There was a caucus meeting right before this, so the bulk of the Senate Democrats were likely OK with giving in, even if not willing to vote for it in public
You mean these Dems are in cahoots with the GOP. There’s no fucking reason why to back down now when the pressure is on unless their handlers are telling them to.
TBH I think they are weighing the pain to their constituents of losing ACA benefits, versus shutting down air travel and tens of millions of hungry families.
It’s pure evil but it’s MAGA
Yes, but caving will still continue the decline. There is nothing to gain unless they make a deal with something to gain.
Like ACA.
