DNC Democrats Kaine and Feinstein not backing Dreamers or Civil Rights



"Senate Republicans would only need some Democrats to join them to fund the government, however, and several ― including Sens. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.), Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), according to The Washington Post

― have said they would be unwilling to risk a shutdown over Dreamers."

 "Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) each tweeted this week that they would oppose a hypothetical deal without Dreamer protections. Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) appeared with Durbin and Dreamers at a press conference on Tuesday morning to pledge their support.

“If Republicans refuse to do the right thing and protect Dreamers in the upcoming long-term spending bill, then they are going to cause the government to shut down,” Gillibrand said."
