Democrats to aim shutdown fury at Senate primaries

(The Hill) Furious Democrats are set to train their fire far beyond the eight Senate Democrats who cut a deal to end the shutdown, directing their frustration into defeating establishment-leaning candidates in primaries across the country.

None of the eight Senate Democrats who helped Republicans pass the government funding bill this week are up for reelection in 2026. Nor is Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who is bearing the brunt of Democratic blame despite voting against the measure.

But progressive groups and lawmakers say the way the shutdown ended is yet another sign that the party needs new faces in Washington and are set to take that argument — and their money — to primary races in Maine, Michigan and beyond.
