Grain of salt bc Axios literally loves to rage bait progressives for clicks, but if this is true the Democrats are fucking cowardly dipshits. GOP will vote no on extending subsidies and will just re-fire govt employees once they're brought back on. Makes the month long sacrifice totally pointless.
The deal would include a December vote on a Democratic proposal to extend ACA tax credits for one year, multiple sources said. It would take 60 votes to pass. The agreement is expected to include language that would, at a minimum, undo the federal layoffs that President Trump implemented during the shutdown.

yeahhhhhh bloodbath night! i'm keeping an eye on these things from dave wasserman, who is annoying but really knows electoral math stuff
Dave Wasserman @Redistrict · 2h Pro tip: almost all the attention tonight will be on #NJGov, #VAgov and NYC mayor, but for '26 clues I'll be watching what happens in VA's House of Delegates. Here's why... Dave Wasserman @Redistrict · 2h Replying to @Redistrict Nationally, the median House district voted for Trump by 3.1 pts in 2024. Depending on the final outcome of redistricting, Dems will need to hold/flip seats that voted for Trump by 3-5 pts to win control. Dave Wasserman @Redistrict · 2h Replying to @Redistrict Today, the VA House of Delegates is effectively 51D-49R. But there are eight GOP delegates in districts that voted for Harris in '24, another six in districts that voted for Trump by 0-5 pts, and another seven in districts Trump won by 5-10 pts. Dave Wasserman @Redistrict · 2h If Dems win something like 55-59 HoD seats tonight, it would be a sizable gain but would indicate Dems are pretty much only flipping Harris districts. Nationally, there are only three GOP members in Harris districts - not enough to win Dems the House. Dave Wasserman @Redistrict · 2h However, if Dems win 60+ House of Delegates seats, it would indicate a Dem enthusiasm/turnout edge consistent w/ Dems having a good chance to flip the U.S. House, despite a possible 4-8 seat GOP net gain from newly gerrymandered maps. Dave Wasserman @Redistrict · 2h If Dems win 63+ HoD seats, it would be consistent w/ a lot of strong overperformances we've seen for Dems in downballot races so far in '25 and indicate that Dems should be considered favorites for House control in '26. ave Wasserman @Redistrict Big difference between the VA HoD & U.S. House: today, there are 13 House Dems in Trump seats but zero VA HoD Dems in Trump districts. That gives Dems a head start towards the House majority. Still, I'll be watching the extent to which VA Dems break into Trump turf tonight. Dave Wasserman @Redistrict · 2h Here are the eight GOP-held VA HoD seats won by Harris in '24 that Dems have a great chance to flip: #HD22 Lovejoy (R) #HD57 Owen (R) #HD71 Batten (R) #HD73 Earley (R) #HD75 Coyner (R) #HD82 Taylor (R) #HD86 Cordoza (R) #HD89 OPEN (R) Dave Wasserman @Redistrict · 1h Replying to @Redistrict Here are the six GOP-held VA HoD seats Trump won by 0-5 pts in '24 that could indicate a Dem wave: #HD30 Higgins (R) #HD41 Obenshain (R) #HD64 Milde (R) #HD66 Orrock (R) #HD69 Green (R) #HD99 Tata (R) A defeat of Orrock (longest-serving delegate) would be an exclamation point. Dave Wasserman @Redistrict Here are the seven GOP-held VA HoD seats Trump won by 5-10 pts. If Dems win any of these tonight, *watch out* (it's tsunami territory): #HD34 Wilt (R) #HD40 McNamara (R) #HD49 Marshall (R) #HD52 Walker (R) #HD74 Cherry (R) #HD83 Wachsmann (R) #HD100 Bloxom (R) 6:39 PM · Nov 4, 2025 · 42.8K Views
