"That's what leaders do,"
"You have the gavel, you have the majority, you have to bring people together."
"obviously not unanimous"
"without something on health care, the vote is very unlikely to succeed."
Senate Republicans are preparing a bipartisan package of spending bills aimed at ending the government shutdown and winning new Democratic votes. Democrats have voted 14 times not to reopen the government while demanding an extension of expiring health care subsidies expected to be excluded from the legislation. A test vote on the unreleased package could come as soon as Friday. Some Democrats say they will hold out until President Trump and Republican leaders negotiate on subsidies, while a small group is working with Republicans on a reopening tied only to a future health care vote. Republicans remain short five votes.
