Senate Democrats under pressure before funding deadline

Senate Democrats face pressure as a funding deadline approaches. The House passed a stopgap spending measure, but Senate approval requires 60 votes. With some Republicans opposing the bill, Democrats may need to compromise or risk a government shutdown. Democrats want to limit President Trump's spending authority, but Republicans reject this. The House's bill lacks the guarantees Democrats seek, leaving them to choose between supporting a bill they oppose or facing blame for a shutdown. As the deadline nears, Senate Democrats are considering a short-term funding proposal. Some members express concerns about the implications of a shutdown, while others remain undecided on how to vote if the House bill is presented.
