WTF Kaine and Warner.

This article has more details:

CHC member Rep. Luis Gutiérrez, D-Ill., said the caucus voted unanimously to march over to Schumer’s office for a meeting intended to galvanize support for DREAMers. Gutiérrez and Chairwoman Michelle Lujan Grisham, D-N.M., said they received a commitment from Schumer that additional Senate Democrats will vote against the CR but did not specify how many.

There are 48 members of the Democratic caucus, and just 41 of them were needed to block the measure, given Senate rules. But on Thursday evening, they fell nine short, with the bill advancing 66-32. A full 17 Democrats voted for the spending bill, including Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., the 2016 vice presidential nominee. (The full list is below.)

That means the next fight over a government shutdown will come in the middle of January, as the funding bill keeps the government open until the 19th.
