Eight members of the Democratic caucus, who backed a late-night deal aimed at reopening the government and ending the 40-day shutdown, have ignited backlash from inside their own coalition, with critics slamming the move as a “pathetic” surrender.

The shutdown, the longest in U.S. history, had been framed by Democrats as a last stand over healthcare. They claimed they were holding out to force the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies that lapse at the end of the year. Instead, the agreement clinched last night punts the entire issue to a separate vote next month, which many believe will fail.

The reaction from top Democrats across the country was fury.

The average monthly SNAP benefit is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit is up to $550 a person/mo.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

Working people want leaders whose word means something.

I got back to my office after the vote tonight and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened tonight. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry – like you. But I choose to keep fighting. pic.twitter.com/EsfvvDH3VD

California Governor Gavin Newsom summed up his disgust in a one-word tweet:

Pathetic.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker echoed him: “This is not a deal — it’s an empty promise”:

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. https://t.co/hLiMKgkc8i

Progressives in Congress have now widened their fire, not only at Republicans, but at their own leaders. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) even called for Senate Democrats to replace Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

— Ro Khanna (@RoKhanna) November 10, 2025

The sentiment was echoed by some Democratic activists online:

Time to pass the torch, Chuck. https://t.co/VH7UQHNWhE

Others, incandescent, accused their party of folding. Those Democrats who publicly defended the compromise now find themselves swimming against a tide of anger:

Oh fuck off shaheen https://t.co/S1OtJKN8ZA

The only political accomplishment out of this for Dems is that when health insurance skyrockets for 22 million Americans in 42 days, it will be clear to even low information voters that Republicans are the ones responsible. Whether that makes all this worth it remains to be seen.

An all-time fumble by the Democrats.
After finally starting to rebuild trust with voters following the election, Democrats had momentum on their side. During this shutdown fight, Americans were beginning to believe they could actually hold firm. Republicans were the ones sinking…

Absolutely pathetic. I cannot believe we caved to this wannabe dictator and his goons. Thanks to the Democrats who voted no. We’ll remember who bent the knee.

The hostage taking the White House engaged in these last few weeks worked <– this is my takeaway

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), who voted Yes on the resolution, posted a statement online to rationalize his decision, only to be met with a brutal pile-on:

Betrayal to working class Americans.

— Nina Turner (@ninaturner) November 10, 2025

Resign

— Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) November 10, 2025

This is some weak shit, Senator.
