A Pennsylvania Democratic C-SPAN caller on Tuesday said she was done voting for Democrats amid dissatisfaction with the party over the ongoing government shutdown. The shutdown started on Oct.

Democrats and progressives exploded with outrage after the Senate took a giant leap toward reopening the government Sunday night.

Trump wants Republicans to end the shutdown quickly and scrap the filibuster, which requires 60 Senate votes for most legislation, so they can bypass Democrats altogether. Vice President JD Vance, a former Ohio senator, endorsed the idea in an online post Saturday, saying Republicans who want to keep the filibuster are “wrong.”

A Democratic retired federal worker denounced her party on Monday for refusing to reopen the government as the shutdown entered its fourth week. The shutdown commenced on Oct.

President Donald Trump late Wednesday signed a funding package to reopen the federal government, officially bringing a close to the longest shutdown in history.

On Day 40 of the shutdown, eight Democrats joined Republicans in advancing a government funding measure, after 14 previous votes fell short.

The House of Representatives is expected to vote to reopen the government tonight, but this will not bring immediate relief to air travelers. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Tuesday it will likely take some time to “get back to normal air travel” once the shutdown ends.
