They have power over government shutdown on Dec 11th deadline. Very critical to (both) party direction even if they don’t have all of the votes to fix america over next month.
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.
They can use that power to end Iran war. Cause a government shutdown if congress can’t agree to end Iran war. ONLY congress are the relevant powers to decide this. It’s not doing anything that “just adds to Amercians’ troubles”
The recently elected Democrats don’t take office until Jan. 3,2027.

What are you thinking it will take votes wise to make for a government shutdown by December 11th?

Ok but I don’t think that’s going to help their cause. It’ll just add to American’s troubles.

Americans don’t like government shutdowns.
