Senate Moves Closer to Ending Shutdown
Eight senators broke from the Democratic caucus and agreed to a deal giving Republicans the 60 votes they needed to end the government shutdown. The measure still needs to be voted on in both chambers of Congress.
“The yeas are 60 and the nays are 40.” “From the truly precarious situation we are in with regard to air travel, to the fact that our staffs have been working without pay for a full 40 days now, all of us, Republicans and Democrats, who support this bill know that the time to act is now.” “I must vote no. This healthcare crisis is so severe, so urgent, so devastating for families back home that I cannot, in good faith, support this C.R. [continuing resolution].”
