This post has been updated.

The first cloture vote didn’t clinch 60, so the House GOP’s continuing resolution, which was passed on a party-line vote, remained in legislative limbo. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) delivered his ‘Republicans don’t have the votes’ bit, only to cave less than 36 hours later. After another drawn-out process that engulfed the Hill in chaos, he voted for cloture this afternoon—the Democrats are a total mess.

Republicans needed eight votes to limit debate to advance the legislation, and they got them. Sens. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and Gary Peters (D-MI) got us over the top. Sen. John Fetterman was another early ‘aye’ vote when Schumer walked away from the shutdown theater. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand also voted for cloture.

The final vote was 62-38.

UPDATE: CR passed. No shutdown. Dems owned.
