It sounds like a bunch of Democrats want to cave in exchange for no concessions whatsoever. Edit: Bloomberg has more details

Current likely Democratic votes for this:

  • Shaheen - NH
  • Hassan - NH
  • King - ME
  • Fetterman - PA
  • Peters - MI
  • Durbin - IL
  • Warner - VA
  • Kaine - VA
  • Ossoff- GA
  • Warnock - GA

If you want to change things, you need to call their DC office NOW, and leave an email if you can’t.

Edit 2: enough Democrats joined the Republicans to reopen the government with no real concessions.

The list:

  • Durbin
  • Hassan
  • King
  • Cortez Masto
  • Kaine
  • Shaheen
  • Rosen
  • Fetterman
  • Schumer
  • Gillibrand

There was a caucus meeting right before this, so the bulk of the Senate Democrats were likely OK with giving in, even if not willing to vote for it in public

      I didn’t see Schumer vote for it. The NY times has this quote from him as of a few hours ago

      Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, upbraided Republican leaders for refusing to negotiate with them on health care subsidies. He said he would vote against the deal some members of the Senate Democratic caucus have brokered, because “this health care crisis is so severe.”

      “Make no mistake about it, the American people know who is inflicting this health care trauma,” Schumer said. “Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Americans will remember Republican intransigence every time they make a sky high payment on health insurance.”
