Despite initial doubts from Senate Democrats over supporting the bill, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's endorsement led to criticism, notably from prominent party figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In contrast to the dissent within the party, a majority of Senate Democrats supported bringing the bill to a vote, which ultimately passed with a 62-38 margin. The decision reflects ongoing tensions about party strategy and relations with the Trump administration.
