Senadores de EEUU trabajarán el fin de semana para tratar de resolver cierre de gobierno – Chicago Tribune

By MARY CLARE JALONICK and KEVIN FREKING

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. senators worked at the end of the week for the first time when the government began working more than a month ago, with hopes of meeting a bipartisan resolution that made them worry, while working governors are sinless. cobrar, planes were required to cancel flights and SNAP benefits were traced to millions of states.

Ahead of Saturday’s late-week session, it’s unclear whether Republicans and Democrats could move toward reopening the government and ending a 39-day party camp. Republicans received an offer from Democratic Senate President Chuck Schumer to restore government and extend expiring health subsidies for another year. Senate Mayor John Thune called it “unviable.”

Republicans refused to negotiate with Democrats, requiring Republican Party leaders and President Donald Trump to negotiate an increase in Ley de Cuidado de Salud Asequible tax credits that will expire at the end of the year. But Republicans appeared open to a new proposal from a small group of moderate Democrats to restore government by switching votes to healthier health.

New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, who moderates conversations among moderates, said last night that Democrats “need another path forward” after Republicans received Schumer’s offer. “We work at his house,” he said.

Moderados siguen negociant

While the leaders of the two parties disagreed, the small group of Democrats led by Shaheen continued to negotiate among themselves and with some rank-and-file Republicans over what they thought would end up in the governor’s office.

The group has discussed over the weeks regarding a vote for a series of bills that fund the government’s side — food aid, veterans programs and the legislature, among other things — and extended funding for all members through December or year. The three annual investment proposals that will likely be included in the outcome of the bipartisan negotiations that continued during the course.

But the terms of this agreement include the promise of a future vote on health care, instead of a guarantee that subsidies from the Ley de Cuidado de Salud Asequible will be extended longer until the end of the year. Many Democrats said this was unacceptable.

But Republican leaders only need five more votes to fund the government, and the group participating in the conversations has hovered between 10 and 12 Democratic senators.

While these Democrats were in dialogue, Republicans maintained hope of reaching a point to break the impasse and, later, negotiate a compromise on health care. Some Republicans are showing a willingness to expand COVID-19-era tax credits because the former could disappear for millions of states, but they want to set new limits on who can receive the subsidies.

“We’re having very positive discussions with a lot of Democrats,” said South Dakota Sen. Mike Rounds.

Republicans consider new package of bills

During a Republican speech at the Casa Blanca on miseries, President Donald Trump established a way to quickly push to eliminate the legislative filibuster, which requires that the mayor of laws receive at least 60 votes to join the Senate, in order to vote completely for Democrats.

“I’m totally in favor of ending the filibuster, and we’re going to work in the next 10 minutes to get us to that vote,” Trump said on Friday.

Republicans responded with the importance of Trump’s work, and Thune considered in his place a bipartisan package that reflects the proposition that moderate Democrats have become esbozando. But it is not clear what promises Thune, who refused to negotiate, will make on health issues.

The package replacing legislation approved by the House of Representatives that Democrats passed 14 times after falling into deadlock. The current plan only extended government funding until November 21, a date that is within sight of the school after its first few weeks of inactivity.

An election for the Democrats

If Thune decides to move forward, the next few days could celebrate a test vote on the new legislation.

Democrats then tend to make a crucial decision: Should they hope to have a meaningful deal to extend aid that expires in January, prolong the impact of steel, or vote to restore government and hope that the Republicans’ best moments promise an eventual vote on health care support, but without a guaranteed outcome?

At a youth caucus meeting, the majority of Democrats suggested continuing to hope that Trump and Republican leaders agree to negotiate.

Sen. Brian Schatz, Democrat of Hawaii, said Democrats “obviously aren’t unanimous” but “without something regarding medical attention, it’s very likely that the vote will stand.”

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who is part of the Democratic caucus, said he needed to keep businesses going after Democrats won Election Day this week, and demanded a subsidy proposal in place of the promise of a vote.

The population “voted against Trumpism,” Sanders demonstrated. “It starts from this vote to decide to the democrats: ‘Manténganse firms, no se rindan, no nos obliguen a pagar el double or el triple por las primas de salud’”.
