    They need a larger majority of 60/100 in the Senate to my understanding, and while they have a majority they don’t have the 60 necessary to pass the spending bill. They need at least some Democrats to cross the floor and I don’t think any are willing.

      3 did break party line. Fetterman, some guy from Maine and I think a gal from Arizona?

      Fwiw, on the Republican side, Rand Paul broke from their party line and voted against the stopgap funding measure.
