It definitely seems like a risky gamble if Democrats are trying to get members in red states safe by waiting until the 19th to get their way. Wouldn’t that put much more pressure in the GOP to pass whatever they want with only R votes and then put the Senste in full blast.

They can only agree to clean CRs for 2-4 weeks to avoid a shutdown. They are not going to agree on a large budget for a whole year. Eventually you have to start agreeing to numbers and passing legislation. They don’t have a consensus among just republicans.
