The bill would fund the government through Jan. 30 and provide funding for some government agencies for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Democratic senators debated the bipartisan deal negotiated by centrist Democrats with Republican leaders and the White House for more than two hours Sunday afternoon.

Angry progressives in the House and who are running for Congress next year slammed the deal and some called for Schumer to step down as leader.

“Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), a leading House progressive, posted on X, the social media platform.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a leading progressive, called the decision by seven members of the Senate Democratic caucus to vote for the bill “a very, very bad vote.”
