Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., criticized the eight Senate Democrats who joined Republicans in voting to advance a continuing resolution during the procedural vote in the U.S. Senate on Sunday.

Sanders called the move “a very, very bad vote” in a video posted to his X account.

“Tonight, 8 Democrats voted with the Republicans to allow them to go forward on this continuing resolution,” Sanders said. “And to my mind, this was a very, very bad vote.”

The continuing resolution was originally designed to temporarily fund the federal government and avert a shutdown but, according to Sanders, it contained provisions or omissions that would raise healthcare premiums, set the stage for Medicaid cuts and benefit high-income earners through tax changes.
