Three members of the Senate Democratic caucus broke with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) on Tuesday and voted for a House Republican-drafted bill to fund government through Nov. 21, revealing divisions among Democrats about how aggressively to confront the Trump administration. “Many feel that this was an opportunity to stand up to Donald Trump, to vote no and to fight back. “We need … another five” Democratic votes to pass the stopgap funding measure, Thune noted. “We need eight total.”Republicans control 53 Senate seats but need eight Democratic votes to pass the funding bill because Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) opposes its continuation of Biden-era funding levels. Thune said he would schedule additional votes on the House-passed funding measure in the days ahead in the hope of picking up more Democratic votes.
