Republican bill to fund the government through September has passed a key procedural vote.

This is what inspired Donald Trump's thank you pose to Chuck Schumer.

The Senate voted 62 to 38 to advance the bill.

Ten Democrats joined all but one Republican in voting yes.

Final passage of the bill is Ten Democrats joined all but one Republican in voting yes. Final passage of the bill is

expected later today. Do you think Democrats ever actually had leverage in this fight?

What leverage? What leverage do we have? Democrats keep showing up at every night fight with a

casserole, you know, and they have these cheesy paddles, and then, you know, pick your fighter cheeseball stuff. You know, you know, where's your messaging? You know, and if you think now you're tough to shut the government down, then what's how do you get back, back in? Because millions of Americans are going to be impacted. A lot of them aren't even going to get paid, but they all get paid. You know,

what's the exit ramp? How do we even restart the government? Why? Because it's going to be

under the terms of Musk and Trump and the GOP.

And Democratic Congresswoman, Becca Ballant of Vermont, Congresswoman, why are so many House Democrats mad at Chuck Schumer?

Well, and I do want to say it is across the ideological spectrum in my caucus, from Blue Dogs to Progressives.

People feel like this was a moment that was a test for all of our leadership and not to blink and not to cave.

And this funding bill is not a clean CR. It's not a clean continuing resolution. It allows Musk and Trump to continue to wreak havoc on Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare.

It gives them a blank check to be mucking around in things they shouldn't have their hands in

and trying to claw back money that we as Congress have already dedicated.

And so I want to be really clear that the statements that have been made by me and others from my caucus are representative of the caucus as a whole.

And we also felt like Leader Schumer was not communicating well with our leader, and we took some really tough votes.

And this was such a show of strength and togetherness on the part of House Democrats. And I felt like what we saw from Leader Schumer was disorganization on his part.

Is it time for new leadership in the Senate?

Next question.

Mr. Lee, Mr. Leader, Mr. Lear, Mr. Lear, Mr. Lear, Mr. Leargeoffrey,
