Well, tonight, seven Democrats say uncle and give up their shutdown fight.

Some in the party are nothing short of furious.

No alleging betrayal, but wasn't it a betrayal or a strategic surrender.

You decide.

Plus, the big lie turns into the big pardon. Trump gives cover to his

2020 election allies with a pardon so broad it has critics for it about 2026. And later, the

50-year mortgage, the $2,000 rebate check and the one big deflection from President Trump on the economy.

All tonight on Laura Coates Live.

So is something really better than nothing?

That's the question hanging over Washington, D.C. tonight.

The district where where for weeks,

for 41 days to be exact, we've been watching what happens when politicians say all or nothing.

The government shut down. And the big all is the Democrats' main demand, extending the Affordable Care Act subsidies so that 22 million Americans won't be hit by skyrocketing premiums come January.

It was the Hill, a United-Firm Democrats said that they would die on.

That is until tonight, when eight members of their caucus broke ranks and climbed down.

Now, the longest shutdown in U.S. history is likely to end on day 43.

After they officially voted a few moments ago on a bill to reopen the government.

Now, I passed in the Senate 60 to 40. It's not done

yet. It's got to go to the House with the vote there happening Wednesday. But the deal

includes nothing definitive about extending Obamacare subsidies, only the pledge of a Senate

vote on it by mid-December. Cue the headlines.

Democratic unity fractures. Liberal fury over shutdown deal convulses Democrats. Unquote.
