Eight members of the Senate Democratic caucus joined Republicans to pass a 60–40 Senate bill aimed at ending the weeks-long government shutdown, even as President Donald Trump renewed calls for the GOP to scrap the filibuster. The measure now moves to the House.
On November 8, 2025, President Donald Trump used Truth Social to claim Democrats are "cracking" over the weeks-long government shutdown and pressed Republicans to "blow up" the Senate filibuster — a day after Democrats floated a one-year extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies that GOP leaders swiftly rejected.
