Senate Democrats consider rejecting a House-passed funding plan to avoid a government shutdown, pushing for a 30-day CR instead. Senate Majority Leader John Thune challenges their stance by scheduling a vote. The resolution needs 60 votes to proceed; 8 Democrats must support it. The continuing resolution supports current spending levels, including $485 million for ICE, backed by President Trump. Rejection may harm Democrats, highlighting their inconsistency on shutdown politics. They’re caught between accepting or facing the optics of causing a government shutdown. Current signals show readiness to stand firm, but acceptance seems likely.
