"It's a bad deal. Buttigieg continued, Everyday life making it better and more affordable must always be our bottom line. For months, I've been hearing from people bracing for their health insurance bills to skyrocket so much that some will lose coverage altogether. Some say they simply haven't even opened their letter yet, dreading the bad news. Any deal that fails to address this directly is a bad deal."
"Some prominent Democrats have spoken out against the deal, with California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) calling it pathetic and declaring, Americans deserve better. Tonight's Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders. Governor Gavin Newsom (@CAgovernor) November 10, 2025"
Pete Buttigieg criticized the Senate deal to reopen the government for lacking assurances on health care, posting on X that "It's a bad deal." He emphasized that improving everyday life and affordability must be the bottom line and said people are bracing for skyrocketing health insurance bills and some risk losing coverage. The Democratic senators who voted for the continuing resolution included John Fetterman, Angus King, Catherine Cortez Masto, Jacky Rosen, Dick Durbin, Jeanne Shaheen, Maggie Hassan, and Tim Kaine. Prominent Democrats such as Gavin Newsom, Chris Murphy, and Bernie Sanders publicly condemned the vote.
