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
People are acting like it’s total capitulation. It’s not. Per NYT :
It’s absolutely 1000% unacceptable unless the Republicans get nothing they’ve tried to extort and make some additional concessions on top of it. That’s what a compromise is, not letting the fucking thieves and saboteurs get away with half their goddamn crimes!
Trans people lose ALL their healthcare. For my family, these democrats helped the GOP kill them. These concessions are WORSE THAN NOTHING
