The Senate on Friday narrowly averted a government shutdown at midnight, passing a G.O.P.-written stopgap spending measure after Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the minority leader, and a small group of Democrats joined Republicans in allowing it to advance.

A spending bill to avert a partial government shutdown narrowly cleared a key procedural hurdle in the Senate, paving the way for passage as a Friday night deadline loomed. Ten Democrats joined with Republicans to clear the 60-vote threshold needed to advance the measure.

Senator Chuck Schumer, the minority leader, continued to face criticism from members of his own party after he reversed course and allowed the stopgap spending bill to come to a vote.

The liberal organizing group Indivisible said Saturday it was calling for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to step down from his leadership role, the latest fallout after he backed a GOP bill to keep the government open.

After weeks of frustration with President Donald Trump, the Democratic base has turned its ire on a new target: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the 9 Democratic senators who voted to advance a Republican funding bill rather than shut down the government.
