Democrats Should Have Shut Down the Government
I’ve been working hard getting our NCAA Tournament forecasts ready for Selection Sunday. So I’d barely been paying attention to the drama in the Senate, where Republicans were trying to gather votes for a budget resolution to avert a government shutdown by midnight tonight.
How some Senate Democrats sided with Republicans to vote against government shutdown
The advance vote: The Senate voted 62-38 to end debate on the bill – a cloture vote – and advance it to a final vote. Nine Democrats and one independent, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., voted in favor of cloture. That vote allowed the bill to pass with a simple majority in the final vote.
