Sen. Gillibrand shouted during Democratic lunch meeting dispute

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand reportedly shouted at her Democratic colleagues during a lunch meeting about a potential government shutdown. The Senate is divided on how to vote for a House-passed bill that would fund the government for six months. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer initially opposed the Republican-crafted bill, favoring a shorter resolution. However, after Gillibrand's outburst, Schumer changed his stance, stating that avoiding a shutdown is more important than the bill's shortcomings. Senate Republicans need at least eight Democratic votes to advance the bill. The situation remains tense as party members express differing views on how to proceed.
