Some people were calling this a conspiracy theory! but Schumer's negotiations with his caucus were live-tweeted by Bloomberg. He came out "grinning" and suggesting they were close to a deal and then they voted for the CR. The minority whip and safe Senators/those not up for reelection voted yes
Senate Democrats are meeting behind closed doors to discuss the emerging deal. “Stay tuned,” Schumer tells us with a grin.

With the agreement of all Dem Senators, the yes votes were carefully chosen to be those who are not up for reelection next cycle. Any Dem Senator who isn't calling for Schumer and Durbin to step down is fully complicit
