Senate Democrats previously railed against potential government shutdowns in a video compiled by the White House.
"Last week, Democrats refused to stand for a child battling brain cancer and Angel Moms," a Trump administration official told Fox News Digital. "Now, their hypocrisy and hatred for Donald Trump have overpowered a commonsense, reasonable funding measure that their party has historically endorsed. This isn’t principled opposition; it’s a vitriolic response to their contempt for President Trump and the undeniable momentum on Republicans’ side."

The bill is now in the Senate's hands, presenting Democrats in the upper chamber with the option of either passing the bill or triggering a government shutdown Friday at midnight.
Senate Democrats are reportedly at odds on how to proceed, sources told Fox News Digital this week.
"They’ve been debating what to do, and there’s been people who feel strongly on both sides," a Democratic source familiar told Fox News Digital, in reference to several lengthy Senate Democratic caucus meetings in the past couple days.

Gillibrand also was included in the White House highlight reel, where she slammed the 2019 government shutdown as risking children "going to bed hungry."

"If this shutdown continues indefinitely, 39 million Americans will risk not having enough food. They will lose their SNAP benefits in February, so that means American children will be going to bed hungry. It's unacceptable," she said in the video clip.
