Michigan’s U.S. Senators Oppose Funding Deal over Lack of Healthcare Guarantees

Senators work through weekend sessions aiming to pass a funding deal with debates over health care subsidies and federal worker rehiring, amid growing shutdown impacts.

  • On Sunday, the U.S. Senate cleared a procedural 60-vote threshold, advancing a bipartisan funding deal that media outlets reported could fund the government through Jan. 30.
  • On Friday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer offered Democrats' votes to reopen the government if Senate Republicans attach a one-year extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies, but senators remain far from resolving this demand.
  • Private bipartisan talks resumed Friday as rank-and-file senators continued negotiations, with members expected to stay in Washington through the weekend and the Senate convening Saturday at noon.
  • If the Senate approves it, the deal would return to the House for passage and await President Trump's signature, while GOP leaders are not scheduling another vote on the stopgap bill and Trump presses to bypass the 60-vote filibuster rule.
  • Lawmakers warn deep divisions remain as doubts persist about mustering the necessary eight Democrats, while House and Senate Appropriations committees work on a separate three-bill full-year funding package.
