Democratic leader Chuck Schumer voted alongside Republicans to advance a House GOP spending bill that would keep the government open for another six months, beyond the midnight shutdown deadline.

Senate Democrats joined Republicans Friday on a key procedural vote to advance a bill that would ultimately avert a government shutdown at midnight, despite intensifying pressure from across the Democratic Party to block the GOP’s funding measure.

The plan would avert a government shutdown but give Donald Trump and Elon Musk more power over spending, sparking fierce backlash among Democrats.
