United States senator from Montana, Steven Daines, said during an interview with Fox News on Friday that the Republican Party would likely reject the Democratic Party's most recent proposal to allow the US government to reopen after a closure that started on October 1.
Earlier, top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer offered a new plan to Republican lawmakers that would include a separate one-year extension of current enhanced tax credits, which are used to lower the cost of health insurance purchased on Affordable Care Act marketplaces.
Schumer's proposal eliminates the Democratic demand that the short-term funding resolution incorporate an extension of the augmented ACA subsidies, set to expire at the end of December, which was obstructing the Republican House resolution bill from attaining the requisite 60 votes for Senate approval.
