During the government shutdown, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer publicly opposed Republicans while privately urging moderate Democrats not to give in before November.

Some moderates were ready to reopen the government two weeks into the shutdown, but Schumer persuaded them to wait until the start of ACA open enrollment.

He also signaled to his caucus that he likely would oppose a bipartisan deal pushed by moderates.

Ultimately, the moderates decided the cost of the shutdown outweighed the benefits, securing a promise for a December vote on ACA tax credits, Axios has reported.

Despite Schumer’s stance, eight Democratic-aligned senators broke ranks to advance the deal, moving toward ending the shutdown.
