Following weeks of false starts and failed votes, a procedural vote passed in the Senate with a clear majority, as a group of eight lawmakers voted alongside all Republicans to advance a bipartisan agreement that would support most national offices through January.

The Democratic caucus has aimed anger at the lawmakers who broke ranks, with top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer now under pressure to leave his post as Democratic leader.

“The senator is ineffective and should be removed,” said lawmaker Khanna, who serves the Silicon Valley region of California. “Without leadership on this issue to stop medical costs from skyrocketing for Americans, what issues matter?”

When questioned Monday if he endorsed the Senate agreement to end the funding lapse, he said he would “abide by the deal,” labeling it “very good.”

Justices to Rule if Authorities Can Include Ballots Received After Election Day

The legal dispute, the Mississippi case, involves a dispute to a local rule that allows ballots to count if they are received within five business days of voting day.
