The decision to fold on the shutdown is likely to fan the flames of the Democratic Party’s raging discontent with its elected representatives.
The Senate began the process to end the nation’s longest government shutdown on Sunday after eight Democratic senators struck a deal with Republicans that did not include Democrats’ key demand of extending boosted healthcare subsidies for those who receive health insurance through the Affordable Care Act.
The Democrats voting to reopen the government were:
Dick Durbin (Ill.)
Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.)
Maggie Hassan (N.H.)
