Theoretically, maybe seven Democrats could vote to end the filibuster

in the Senate and a vote could be had for the Continuing Resolution.

But -- even if it happened, Mike Johnson would continue to keep the House closed.

it wouldn't have to go back to the House. Trump would sign it and it would end the shutdown. If Johnson kept the House closed after that, it would be disastrous for Republicans. Not to mention, absolutely no additional business could get done.
