The Senate voted on Monday evening to end the record-long government shutdown despite intense backlash to Democratic senators who caved to reach the deal.

The passage of the short-term spending bill to fund the government through January is the latest in several steps toward reopening the government as the shutdown hit Day 41.

In the end, eight Democratic senators joined with Republicans for the 60 to 40 vote on the legislation after paving the way for the final vote late Sunday.

In return for ending the standoff, Democrats were promised a vote on health care in the Senate. However their push for Congress to extend the expiring enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies already appears to be dead on arrival in the House before the bill even goes before the Senate.

Democratic congressional candidates across the political spectrum, House members and progressive groups are furious that Democrats agreed to nothing more than a Senate promise and have called for heads.

Despite voting “no” on moving the legislation forward, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is facing calls to step down and for primary challengers.

While most of his own caucus has refrained from bashing his leadership outright, the frustration on the hill was on full display as the majority of Senate Democrats voted to continue the fight.

Asked point blank whether Schumer should lead Senate Democrats moving forward, Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona sidestepped the question on Monday.

A petition on Change.org for him to step down hit nearly 50,000 signatures on Monday.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said he was calling his members back to Washington, D.C. as soon as possible on Monday, so they could vote on the new spending deal for the government to reopen this week.
