After 40 days of the government shutdown — in which Democrats incessantly demanded Republicans get on board with their effort to protect the expiring Obamacare subsidies — at least 8 Senate Democrats appear to be prepared to break ranks with their caucus Sunday night, setting in motion an end to the shutdown without a promise of extending said tax credits.
Sens. Angus King (D-ME), John Fetterman (D-PA) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) have already been voting in favor of the GOP CR for weeks. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) released a statement on Sunday saying he will be supporting the deal.
