Democrats Break Ranks, Back Bipartisan Government Reopening Plan

On November tenth, a bipartisan plan emerged to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Democratic senators, led by Jeanne Shaheen and Angus King, announced their support for a compromise spending measure, securing enough votes to move forward. The deal, which includes a commitment from Republicans to vote on extending healthcare subsidies, could potentially reopen the federal government, pending House endorsement and the Presidents signature. However, not all Democrats are on board, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries rejecting the plan. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story.
