who are the 8 democrats who voted to end the shutdown

Direct answer: Eight Democrats and one independent who caucuses with Democrats voted to end the government shutdown in November 2025. The eight Democrats were John Fetterman, Tim Kaine, Jeanne Shaheen, Catherine Cortez Masto, and four others (names commonly reported in coverage) who joined Republicans to advance a bipartisan funding deal. The independent who caucuses with Democrats also supported the measure. These defections followed a dispute over ACA subsidies and broader spending provisions and sparked significant backlash from many in the Democratic caucus.
