Senate Democrats struggle to unite on funding bill

Senate Democrats face challenges after the House passed a stopgap funding bill to prevent a government shutdown. The bill passed narrowly, with only one Republican and one Democrat breaking party lines. Senate Republicans hold a majority, but opposition from some members means at least eight Democrats must support the bill for it to pass. Senate Democratic leaders have not publicly stated their positions, indicating a lack of consensus among members. Some Democrats, like Senator John Fetterman, express willingness to support the bill to avoid a shutdown, despite concerns over its provisions. The situation remains fluid as Senate discussions continue.
