Are we willing to take no for an answer that they are unwilling to be the leaders that we need them to be?"
"Democrats and their allies are livid over a deal that a small group of Democratic senators made with Republicans in order to end the government shutdown. Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), Sen. Angus King (I-ME), Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH), and Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) voted to advance a bill that would reopen the government in exchange for some job protections and a promise to hold a vote"

Organizers called the vote a betrayal and intend to use future primaries to replace incumbents who accept similar deals.
