Democrats from both chambers of Congress and differing wings of the party are furious after eight Senate Democrats voted with Republicans to advance a measure to reopen the government.

The Senate passed the spending bill Monday night, and House leaders said they would vote on it as early as 4 p.m. on Wednesday. President Trump said he would "abide by the deal" once it reaches his desk.

House Democrats are widely expected to oppose the bill, while a few moderate members may buck the party and vote for it. Republicans will be operating with an ultranarrow majority to get it to Trump for a signature.

The agreement has also reignited a debate among Democrats over the party's direction and the right leaders to chart the path forward, with several progressive House members and those running next year calling for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to be replaced.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) released a statement declaring his opposition to the agreement before it passed a procedural vote on Sunday. The House will return from an extended two-month recess to vote on the measure.

“We will not support spending legislation advanced by Senate Republicans that fails to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits,” Jeffries said. “We will fight the GOP bill in the House of Representatives, where Mike Johnson will be compelled to end the seven week Republican taxpayer-funded vacation.”

The Hill’s Mike Lillis and Sudiksha Kochi report tensions are boiling over within the Democratic Party, just a week after the party was riding high off its sweeping success in last Tuesday’s elections.

“What Senate Dems who voted for this horseshit deal did was f--- over all the hard work people put in to Tuesday’s elections,” Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.), a former head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, posted on the social platform X. “Healthcare matters. Not platitudes.”

The Hill’s Al Weaver reports how the blowback Schumer is receiving renews questions about his future as leader of Senate Democrats.

Although Schumer blasted the measure and voted against it, his critics are blaming him for not keeping his caucus in line and allowing eight of his members to vote for the proposal without a provision to extend the ObamaCare subsidies, which are set to expire at the end of the year.

Schumer previously prompted liberal fury in March after he broke with most of the party to support a Republican-crafted continuing resolution composed without Democratic input. This time, the New York Democrat did support his colleagues standing their ground and rallying around the expiring subsidies, but progressives have voiced continued distrust.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) called on Senate Democrats to replace Schumer as leader, arguing that he can’t meet the moment.

“Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?” Khanna wrote on X.

The eight Senate Democrats who voted to advance the measure have defended the move, arguing Republicans were not budging in their demands that the government reopen before discussing a vote on health care subsidies.

The lawmakers also grew increasingly concerned about the impact on air travel from absences and staff shortages after air traffic controllers worked 40 days without paychecks. Thousands of flights have been canceled or delayed in recent days, and disruptions have been expected to get worse heading toward Thanksgiving.

“When these controllers are keeping airplanes safe in the air, I don’t want them worried about the paychecks and problems that they have at home,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said, explaining his vote.

While most Democrats have criticized the bill, centrist Democratic Reps. Henry Cuellar (Texas) and Jared Golden (Maine) are two who have signaled they plan to support the measure, giving Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) some breathing room to advance it in the House.

“It’s too bad it was closed, but we’re going to be opening up our country very quickly,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday.

Smart Take with Blake Burman

Now it’s on to the House, after the Senate passed its government funding measure. The deal has infuriated most on the left because it doesn’t directly address expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies, which have been central to the funding fight. Instead, it tees up a vote on the issue in the Senate before the end of the year.

“This deal, if it survives, doesn't actually fund the government. It kicks the can down to Jan. 30,” Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.) told me.

His answer raises the question of whether Congress will pick up and move on from this fight, or whether we’re headed for another shutdown in a few months. When I asked Casten if the government will close again in February, he only said, “Let's hope not.”

Yes, we are likely on the way toward ending the longest-ever government shutdown. However, the deal didn’t materially change any policy. It makes me wonder if this is the whole show, or just the first act.
