VIEW IN BROWSER MSNBC DAILY Understand today's news Saturday, Mar. 15, 2025 THE LATEST The shutdown blunder that Chuck Schumer may never live down By Susan Del Percio The shutdown blunder that Chuck Schumer may never live down By Susan Del Percio Democrats seem to have been outplayed by Republicans when it comes to managing the latest government shutdown battle. And perhaps their biggest mistake was underestimating House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. With a 54-46 vote, the Senate approved a funding bill to keep the government open that the Republican-controlled House had passed Tuesday with a 217-213 vote.   Thursday, the evening before the shutdown deadline, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer reversed the position he'd taken earlier in the week and vowed to help pass the House's short-term continuing resolution bill. This must have been a tough call for the New York Democrat. As Schumer wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times, "As bad as passing the continuing resolution would be, I believe a government shutdown is far worse."   And while Schumer did not ultimately vote yes on the bill itself, his advocacy and yes vote on the cloture motion likely secured Friday night's outcome.   Read Susan Del Percio's latest article here. Jen Psaki is away and will return to the MSNBC Daily newsletter on Saturday, March 22.
