It's not a coincidence that Schumer, the leader, voted no, but Durbin, the whip, voted yes. It's also not a coincidence that everyone who voted yes is either retiring or is not up for reelection until 2028.
This was a calculated move by Schumer; those senators were only chosen to fall on the sword.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

@durbin.senate.gov Your legacy in the Senate will be this cowardly capitulation to anti-American serial liars who want to burn Congress to the ground. I hope the public heckles and jeers you at every public appearance for the rest of your life, and you find yourself persona non grata in society.

Democrats are demanding new leadership after Schumer failed to stop a GOP-backed funding deal that doesn't guarantee continued health care subsidies. Progressives like Ro Khanna blasted him for giving in and warned premiums could soar as a result.
Democrats Call for New Leadership After Schumer Caves on “Terrible” GOP Deal
“If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing … what will you fight for?” said Ro Khanna.

Been calling @durbin.senate.gov in D.C. nonstop since the office opened at 9:00, and have yet to get through. Hopefully the inability to reach the D.C. office means he's getting an earful from Illinoisans, and not that he is so cowardly that he's shut off the phones.

Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5.
There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House.

It really does seem like there's a decent chance that these senators screwed us because they don't want their personal Thanksgiving plans to be disrupted.
Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

Angus King is an independent but he caucuses with the Dems. There’s a reason of them who voted yes are retiring. It’s likely a bunch more Dems wanted this but ones who face the least consequences fell on the sword. Root out who wanted this. It’s more than 8.
Below are the eight #Democrats who voted to raise health care costs for millions to make it unaffordable. These eight cowardly traitors caved into Republican bullying and sadism and betrayed their constituents. Every one should be primaried.
