which democrats voted for the spending bill

The Democrats who voted for the spending bill (a GOP-backed government funding bill) in the recent Senate votes around October 2025 were Senators Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada and John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. Additionally, independent Senator Angus King of Maine, who caucuses with the Democrats, also voted for the bill. These three broke ranks with the majority of the Democratic caucus who opposed the bill. The bill failed to pass with a 55-45 vote, needing 60 votes to succeed. This vote was part of efforts to prevent a government shutdown, which ultimately occurred when the bill was blocked.
