Senate Democrats oppose spending bill, risking government shutdown

Senate Democrats are threatening a partial government shutdown by opposing a GOP spending bill. Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer stated that Democrats will not support the bill, which requires at least eight Democratic votes to pass. Currently, only one Senate Democrat, John Fetterman, has agreed to vote for the bill. Other Democrats express frustration over the decision, with some indicating they may not support the GOP proposal due to concerns about its funding levels. Senate Republicans are criticizing Democrats for potentially using the filibuster to block the bill, which could lead to a government shutdown. The House passed the GOP spending bill largely along party lines, with minimal Democratic support.
