Flake has no guarantee, except maybe to be included in the DACA talks with the VP.

To your question, Democrats will have similar leverage now or anytime before January 19 if the current Continuing Resolution passes, a little more info here. Senator Flake and Senator Durbin have been working on a stand alone DREAM Act, and it may (don't know how) hit the floor next week and hopefully would pass with a veto proof majority. At this point, it's all up in the air, and no one knows what is going on or even what is likely going on. |

The issue in both chambers, as you mentioned, is how are Flake and Durbin going to bring it to the floor. They both seemed fairly certain, though, that they had a way. I'll try to find the article.
Edit: Here's one with Durbin. Couldn't find the Flake article.

“It is very difficult to imagine putting this off” until next year, Durbin said on a call with reporters last week. Durbin and Democratic leadership have said Congress should not break for the holidays without a solution for DACA recipients. Durbin remained optimistic Wednesday. He told USA TODAY that negotiations were "progressing" but needed to speed up if a compromise was going to be reached by next week. He said he thought it was still possible. |
