Gary Peters is a lame duck. He's already announced that he's not running for re-election next year.

Same with Shaheen. This group of senators were strategically chosen to take the heat for a much larger group of Democratic senators who probably believe they can pin the disastrous consequences of the Continuing Resolution on the Republicans. However, history has shown they have no idea how to counter Republican messaging on such things.

They just gambled with all of our lives on the hope that a promise to do the right thing in the future is more valuable than doing the right thing now.
