The following Democrats [and one independent] voted to advance the Republican continuing resolution, which was backed by President Donald Trump:
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
- Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
- Senator Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada
- Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii
- Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois
- Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York
- Senator Gary Peters of Michigan
- Senator Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire
- Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
- Senator Angus King of Maine, an independent who frequently caucuses with Democrats
Jeanne Shaheen already announced that she’s not running for reelection…and she STILL voted for the CR. Not to mention that 4 of the other Dems are from the bluest of states.
What fucking bullshit.
Dick Durbin always seems to find a way to be on the wrong side. I have no idea why he keeps getting reelected.
No one runs against him and even if someone were, he’s the incumbent with party backing and all of the name recognition that comes with the decades of doing it.
Why can’t those years of shit be used against him?
Doesn’t want to jeopardize her payday after her term ends.
