It takes 60 senators to pass (allow a vote on) a controversial budget (written and passed by 50% of house). There’s probably 40 who can insist on defunding Iran war, and cancelling coming medicaid cuts. There are hopefully 90 who think Pete Hegseth’s lies to congress about costs and defeat of Iran war deserve the most extreme punishment.
Mr Veto is not going to help GOP in new election cycle. It’s end of era in simping for him. First time in history, a VP has said “must change our relationship to Israel” and even President has said to end aid to Israel. Schumer can’t be leader fighting that from the right.
A shutdown until Jan 3 (new congress day) has a high potential, but then passing something more moderate but still above 2 main goals, before to avoid even more dem budget items is possible too.
What are you thinking it will take votes wise to make for a government shutdown by December 11th?
