If Dems are smart they would use the failure to deliver on that promise by Republicans and the possibility of another shutdown to pass positive legislation leading up to midterms.
This was the only leverage dems had for this congressional budget year. They gave it up for a vote on a single concession, which will be voted against.
Corporations likely came in requesting things to open back up else a lot of the corporate donor money would stop. It was not a good move to fold, imo, they likely are aiming to make this a next year’s issue.
If Republicans vote against the concession then that will make even Republican voters upset, since so many people depend on having lower health insurance premiums via the ACA subsidies.
Can’t trust the promise of liars. They threw it all away for a promise of a vote that will never fucking happen.
The vote will probably happen, it will simply fail.

That’s not going to happen, republican voters will support their candidates opposing the opposition.
