Schumer did not lose any additional votes on Wednesday as Republicans put up the same House-passed funding bill that failed hours before a government shutdown began at midnight. Still, Republicans believe they can wear down the opposition and plan to keep putting their “clean” funding extension up for votes. He, along with nine other members of his caucus, handed Republicans the votes to extend funding until Sept. 30. In the absence of a deal, Schumer managed to keep multiple Democrats from switching their votes on Wednesday. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Gary Peters (D-MI), both of whom are retiring and voted for the March funding bill, again opposed the bill, as did Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH).
