Newsom Slams ‘Pathetic’ Shutdown Deal as ‘Surrender’

California Governor Gavin Newsom has come out swinging against the Senate’s tentative deal to end the government shutdown, deeming it a Democratic “surrender.”

Senators reportedly reached an agreement on Sunday, the 40th day of the longest shutdown in history, to advance a funding measure and reopen the government.

Two sources told Politico that “more than enough” Democratic senators had agreed to vote for the deal to clear the 60-vote threshold needed to break a filibuster.
