Democrats Trade Election Euphoria for Angst Over Shutdown Deal

The decision by a group of Senate Democrats to vote to end the 41-day government shutdown — after extracting no meaningful concessions from President Donald Trump — has triggered outrage across much of the party.

California Governor Gavin Newsom decried the move as “a surrender,” while Illinois Governor JB Pritzker dismissed it as an “empty promise” — sentiments echoed across Capitol Hill and by party activists.
