When a group of Democrats helped in the Senate Passing the government financing bill In March, this caused a large twilight within the party, with the itching of al -Qaeda to fight the Trump administration even if it came at the expense of the closure.
However, after a little more than a month, President Donald Trump’s policy has led to historical fluctuations in the stock market and the economic uncertainty that now lands directly on his shoulders. Democrats who have been criticized to keep the government are now open.
Senator Angus King, Angus King, I am Maine, who gathered with the Democrats, told NBC News about his vote to keep the government open to the government.
“I have been concluded, alongside others, that the closure will actually lead to Trump and hold on to follow what they are doing,” King said. “We would have delivered it as a gift. Anything bad happened to the economy that could have been blamed for us.”
The tenth Democrats who voted with the Republicans to apply for a six -month financing bill for a large extent due to the uncertainty that the government will bring, especially in the face of the comprehensive cuts implemented by the government efficiency management in Elon Musk.
Many Democrats fear that federal workers who were marginalized during the launch period of fire will be targeted once the government reopens, or that reopening it will be done in a gradual way, creating a chaotic and painful battle in Congress about programs that need to be waiting for.
“We will decide what we will do by closing or how we will deal with that,” Senator Gary Peters, De Mish, told NBC News about what would have happened if they voted to prevent the financing bill.
He said: “The main reason for my feeling strongly that we will not have closed is that by turning it mainly, it waives the authority to the president.”
Deep democratic divisions
Many Democrats who voted to avoid closing faced an explicit group of activists, voters and their lawmakers who saw the financing bill as one of the only financial leverage points. While Republicans control the White House and both Congress rooms, financing legislation still requires 60 votes in the Senate, giving Democrats the ability to prevent bills in protest.
“I started my ass,” Senator John Vitirman, D-PBA told NBC News. “How will that appear now, if the government will be transferred and closed for a month because of what we would have done?”
“We will have it,” said Fetterman.
Senator Jin Shaheen added, DN.H. “I think the decision may dispel itself.”
She said: “But I think this indicates one of the reasons that I explained to the people who asked me about it is that if the economy goes south, the president will blame the Democrats, and this was not in the interest of anyone.”
But the Democrats who voted to prevent the financing bill say they still feel that their strategy was the correct strategies.
“I don’t think we should support that [continuing resolution]”I don’t think we should support CR in the future unless the administration is obligated to follow the law,” Senator Adam Chef, to extend California, told NBC News.
Senator Peter Wellsh, D-Ver, who voted against the financing bill, said that he found that the vote was particularly confusing, and I told NBC news: “This was one of the votes in which I voted in the way I thought was the right vote, but I could not tell you with certainty that I am sure that I was right.”
“I thought it was a very risky vote in both cases,” Walsh said. “Our base, which is right, was required to fight, and that was a moment when we had some leverage. On the other hand, Schumer was concerned about what happened to the closure that Musk wanted was legitimate. There could be a huge amount of additional damage.”
Senator Elizabeth Warren, Magas, who was an explicit advocate of the Republican Party financing bill, has expressed her desire to move forward.
“This is not related to the rear vision mirror,” Warren told NBC News. “Donald Trump has proven to be a greater threat to the American economy and the global economy than anyone expected.”
The leader in the middle
No democratic was made more heat to vote on the progress of the Republican Party financing bill than the Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, DN.Y, who faced calls to step as a party leader in the room.
Voters in the city’s halls all over the country called for a new leadership, and legislators such as Representative Rowa, Deddown California, said, “The American people are tired of the old guard.” But Shomer has been defying, on the pretext that voting is necessary to keep the spotlight on Trump in the long run.
“I think I made the right decision,” Shomer told NBC News in an interview. “We are all united as looking forward, because they have shown how insufficient every issue is.”
“The Republican Party is in a state of chaos, it is chaos. This last week was terrible for them,” Schumer said, describing the effects of Trump’s tariff on the economy.
But the general criticism of Sumer, after the government financing vote, did not come from his Democratic colleagues in the Senate, and it seems that the need to change the summit has calmed down in recent weeks.
“I think he was right in the decision he made,” Shaheen said about Schumer’s support for the development of the bill.
Even the Republican Senator Kevin Kramer of North Dakota said that Shomer’s support for the financing law was the “noble thing”, noting that driving on both sides of the corridor should, sometimes, make difficult decisions.
“I am thinking about the number of times John Thun, John Parasu and Mitch McConnell took stocks for people who were not courageous to do so, but they were happy with feeding on Twitter and using it to collect donations,” Karamer told NBC News. “I always thought that this was a noble of those who had the courage to do so, and tragic for those who would use them as a pin paddies, and I thought about the same for Task and his team when they did so next to them, it was unfair.”
But while Kramer gave Schumer credit for voting to keep the government open, he also indicated that political conditions could change quickly.
“He does [Schumer] Looks smart today? Well, yes, but Donald Trump may seem really smart tomorrow. “
