Folks, it doesn’t matter that Schumer voted “no”. He got the Dem caucus on board with caving. THEN the caucus figured out who should vote yes to provide cover for D Sens up for reelection in 2026, who might have been in serious danger of being primaried. As for the retiring D Senators, doing their colleagues this favor now serves their interest in post-retirement lobbying access and influence. 1/
@heidilifeldman J-effin-C, 40 days of shut down and anxiety and they basically just then ...caved?? Can't imagine why people think the Democratic party is wimpy and ineffective.
