House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and House Democratic leadership are not changing their stance on the GOP-led stopgap funding bill, even after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) signaled his willingness to support it.

The continuing resolution, which is expected to get a vote in the Senate on Friday, will need at least eight Democratic votes to clear a procedural hurdle. Until Schumer announced he would advance the bill, how it would pass was unclear. The Democratic leader argued in remarks on the Senate floor Thursday that the continuing resolution was bad but that a government shutdown would be worse.
