After weeks of unsuccessful attempts and rejected ballots, a legislative motion succeeded in the US Senate with a clear majority, as a group of eight lawmakers voted alongside all Republicans to advance a bipartisan agreement that would finance most government departments through January.

The Democratic caucus has expressed outrage at the lawmakers who broke ranks, with top Senate Democrat Schumer now receiving demands to step down as minority leader.

“Senator Schumer is ineffective and should be succeeded,” stated representative Khanna, who represents the Bay Area of California. “If you can’t lead the fight to stop medical costs from skyrocketing for Americans, where is the commitment?”

High Court to Decide if Local Governments Can Accept Late-Arriving Mail Ballots

The case, Watson v Republican National Committee, addresses a challenge to a local rule that permits votes to be tallied if they are obtained within one week of the election.
