The Senate pushed the government’s closure on Monday at the helm of a week while the Democrats blocked the GOP “clean” “clean” “clean” bill to advance for the fifth time.
The senators voted 52-42 on the accommodation bill, which needed 60 votes to move forward and financed the government at the expense of the Biden era until the end of November. The count remained practically unchanged, other than absences, since the closure began last Wednesday.
The trio of meaning. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NEV.), Angus King (I-Maine) and John Fetterman (D-P.) Crossed to vote with the Republicans, just as they did three times last week. But no other democrat joined them, leaving the majority party frustrated not to be able to win more votes.
Democrats demand that the Stopgap bill include an extension of tax credits for the Acts on Apprelable Care (ACA) which should expire at the end of the year.
“I wonder exactly what Democrats think they earn from all this. I guess they get points from the extreme left interest groups with which they coordinated their stop strategy,” said the head of the majority of the Senate on Monday (Rs.d.) on Monday. “But I strongly doubt that they earn a lot of points with daily Americans and workers.”
The vote marks the last sign of evacuation between the two parties. While basic legislators sometimes met during last week to think about a way to go, Thune clearly said that he had no reason to meet the head of the Senate minority, Chuck Schumer (DN.Y.) at this stage.
The Chamber also voted on Monday according to the party’s parties against the democratic bill which joined several provisions of health care to an extension of the financing of the government.
“We are ready to work with the Republicans to reopen the government and put an end to the health care crisis which faces tens of millions of Americans,” said Schumer in soil remarks. “But it takes two sides to have negotiations. We need the Republicans of the Senate and the Republicans of the Chamber – and the President – to come to the table. ”
With little action, the Democrats were particularly interested in the idea of ensuring that President Trump plays a more active role in discussions, especially since Thune and President Mike Johnson (R-La.) Have shown little will to support their positions.
Trump told journalists on Monday that he was willing to conclude an agreement with the Democrats on the appropriate ACA credits, which were at the heart of the democratic argument.
“We have an in progress negotiation at the moment with the Democrats who could lead to very good things. And I am talking about good things with regard to health care,” said Trump in the oval office.
The democratic leaders of the Congress have retorted that such talks do not occur at the moment, even if they would welcome negotiations.
“Trump’s claim is not true – but if he is finally ready to work with the Democrats, we will be at the table,” said Schumer. “If President Trump and the Republicans are finally ready to sit and do something about health care for American families, Democrats will be there – ready to get there.”
Adding a layer to the fight to find an agreement, the house remains outside the city, putting the burden on the upper room to understand the path to follow. Johnson said on Monday that the members of the room will stay in their districts until the senators conclude an agreement.
“I can’t wait to recover my parents,” said Johnson to journalists on Monday. “I want to bring the house back in session and go back to work, but we cannot do it as long as they do not go up the lights. We need Chuck Schumer to reopen the government, and as soon as it will, we bring everyone back. ”
Currently, the house is expected to come back next week. The Senate should vote on the pair of financing bills for the sixth time later this week.
