Senator Sheldon Whitehouse did not support the recent resolution that prevented a government shutdown but understands why some Senate Democrats voted for it. He expressed concerns about the potential power shift to the Office of Management and Budget during a shutdown. Democratic support for the resolution was limited and caused frustration within the party. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized the decision, calling it a "huge slap in the face" to those who opposed it. Whitehouse emphasized the need for Democrats to unite and focus on their goals rather than internal disagreements. He urged the party to work together to protect democracy.
