Despite hopes to renew tax credits and show strength in negotiations, Democrats failed to achieve their main goals during the government shutdown. Eight Democrats voted with Republicans to reopen the government, but the deal did not include the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies. This move caused disagreement within the party, with some calling it a terrible mistake. However, others believed waiting longer would only prolong the pain Americans are feeling. Despite the immediate outcome, Democrats see potential upsides, as polls show the public largely blamed Republicans for the deadlock. They plan to use a future vote on health care tax credits to campaign on this strong issue heading into the midterm elections.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
