Government Shutdown Enters 40th Day, Bipartisan Package Emerges

However, securing Democratic support remains uncertain. Meanwhile, Democratic leaders push for an extension of health care subsidies, while Republicans consider a proposal from moderate Democrats to end the shutdown in exchange for a later vote on the subsidies. President Trump urges Republicans to eliminate the Senates filibuster rules, but Republican leaders focus on a bipartisan package that mirrors the moderate Democrats proposal.
