The majority of the Democratic caucus dramatically left the Senate floor after numerous calls for adjournment. Majority Leader Schumer ignored his party's request, siding with the Republicans to remain in session.
The walkout has left the Democrats lacking working control of the Senate giving Republicans advantage to push through their agenda.
According to Senate rules, the Senate can continue to vote on legislation so long as at least one member of the minority party is present.
