Senate Democrats and Republicans unite to prevent shutdown

Ten Senate Democrats voted with Republicans to pass a six-month funding bill, preventing a government shutdown. This decision came just hours before the deadline and marked a significant split within the Democratic Party. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democrats argued that a shutdown would empower President Trump and disrupt federal services. The bill passed with a vote of 62-38, despite opposition from 37 Democrats. The funding measure allows Trump to reallocate federal funds without judicial oversight, raising concerns among many Democrats. The political fallout from this vote may affect Schumer's leadership position, as discontent grows within the party.
