Democrats Voting for Government Shutdown Deal
A group of Democrats and one Democratic-aligned independent have helped secure an agreement to end the government shutdown. They state the deal includes a promised vote on Affordable Care Act subsidies, which have been central to the standoff.
Negotiators' Perspective
The negotiators explained that the Republicans' refusal to consider earlier Democratic proposals left them with "the best possible offer we could secure."
Members Supporting the Deal
- Four supporters are former governors of their states.
- None of these members face reelection in the upcoming midterms.
- Senator Dick Durbin, a Democratic leader retiring at term’s end, broke with Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who opposes the deal.
- Independent Representative King was reelected for a third term in 2024 and supports the deal.
Durbin’s Statement on Shutdown Impact
"This bill is not perfect, but it takes important steps to reduce their shutdown's hurt. For 40 days—the longest shutdown in U.S. history—federal workers went without paychecks. This includes our air traffic controllers, whose towers were already understaffed. They continued to work 10-hour days, six days per week, to keep our airspace safe, with this additional stress at a life-saving job."
Summary
Democrats and one independent have agreed to end the shutdown by securing a vote on critical health subsidies, prioritizing relief for federal workers despite ongoing disagreements within party leadership.
