Senate Republicans are making another attempt to end the government shutdown, now the longest in history, but Democrats are apparently unswayed. Senate Majority Leader John Thune is preparing a new vote to reopen the government on Friday, the 38th day of the shutdown. His latest offer swaps the stopgap funding bill rejected in multiple votes for a longer, but still short-term, funding patch, likely extending into January, as well as full-year funding for veterans programs and food assistance, Politico reports. „It’s what they asked for“, the Republican said Thursday.
