On Monday evening, unified Senate Republicans shot down debate on a resolution to fund the government through December. Now, Democrats are scrambling to find a new way to push a debt ceiling increase through the Senate with at least some Republican support.

But according to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) will not find that support, and will be forced to “surrender.”
