Why Democrats Have Leverage
The 60-vote rule is the fulcrum of the shutdown debate. Republicans hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate. Even if every Republican votes for a CR, they would have only 53 votes – seven short of the 60 needed to overcome a Democratic filibuster.
This gives Senate Democrats significant leverage. By threatening to filibuster the funding bill, they can prevent it from coming to a vote. Their votes are necessary for passage. When Senate Democrats withhold their votes to block a funding bill, they are not passive bystanders. They are active participants wielding procedural power that makes them co-responsible for the outcome.

When Democrats initially voted against the Republican House-passed clean continuing resolution (CR), voters in large margins blamed Republicans. This is likely due to a lack of knowledge about how many votes it takes to pass a CR after the Democrats invoked a filibuster on the bill. Without a filibuster motion, Senate Republicans needed a simple majority to pass the CR with 100 senators, so 51 votes. However, now that Democrats have invoked the filibuster, Senate Republicans need 60 votes (three-fifths of the 100 senators) to invoke cloture and end debate, after which a simple majority is still required for final passage.
Republicans hold a slim 53-seat majority in the Senate, enough to pass the CR without a filibuster, but not enough to pass the motion. As it stands, Republicans need seven Democrats to cross the aisle to invoke cloture and end the debate.
Democrats used this sneaky trick, with help from the media running cover, to push the blame onto Republicans and President Donald Trump. Their argument was simple: Republicans control both chambers of Congress plus the White House; therefore, the shutdown rests solely on their shoulders. For a while, their strategy has worked. Polling in early October showed a majority of Americans blamed Republicans for the shutdown. However, the longer the shutdown lasts, the worse it’s getting for Democrats.
