Last fall, a breakaway group of Senate Democrats undercut their party to make a deal with Republicans and reopen the government, angering many of their colleagues in the other chamber.
Now, with the Department of Homeland Security shuttered in the midst of a fierce fight over President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, some in the House are hoping that history won’t repeat itself.
“The question always is about the strength of Senate Democrats to hold, and that has been an ongoing problem,” said Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash.
