Democrats divided on response to Trump's budget proposal

Democrats are divided over how to respond to a House-passed bill to fund the government, as a potential shutdown looms. Some Democrats fear the impact on federal workers, while others want to oppose President Trump and Elon Musk's spending cuts. Senators may consider votes on various amendments to show they are fighting for their values. However, only one Democrat, John Fetterman, has indicated support for the GOP's interim spending bill. A test vote is expected soon. The Senate has been in session for an extended period, leading to frustration among lawmakers. If a shutdown occurs, it could disrupt their planned recess next week. Time is running out to reach an agreement.
