House succeeds in the financing plan without concessions to the DEMS, leaving the Senate in the dead end

Friday morning, the Républicains of the Chamber adopted their continuous resolution (CR) “clean” of seven weeks on a largely line of the Party 217-212, creating the Senate for an impasse on the financing of the government similar to what happened in March.

The representatives Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Victoria SPARTZ (R-IN) broke out from the Republican Caucus and voted against the measurement of short-term judgments, which would maintain the government funded by the government until November 21. Representative Jared Golden (D-ME) voted to support republican agitation.

The Democrats of the Chamber have largely stuck together, opposing the GOP CR, which they underline was written without bipartisan negotiations and does not include any of the provisions of the health care that the Democrats demanded in exchange for their support. More specifically, the Democrats of the two chambers have publicly pushed an agreement which would extend the tax credits for improved premiums of the Act respecting affordable care – which should expire at the end of 2025 – in exchange for their votes on a potential CR.

Democrats have deployed an alternative CR, which includes a series of health care provisions, including an extension of Obamacare’s subsidies, and a language to combat deductions without law of the Trump White House and pocket threats – threats to the power of the handbag which is looming throughout the budgetary process.

Before vote on the ground, the chief of the Hakeem Jeffries House (D-NY) said that the Democrats do not support a CR which “continues to empty the health care of daily Americans”.

“The Democrats of the Chamber are clear. We are not working for Donald Trump. We are not working for JD Vance … We are working for the American people,” Jeffries told the Capitol marches while a large part of the Democratic Caucus of the Chamber was held behind him.

The Senate resumed the republican and democratic versions of short -term judgment on Friday. The two failed but in particular Sense. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Rand Paul (R-KY) voted against GOP CR and Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) voted in favor.

Any legislation of government financing, of course, requires 60 votes in the upper chamber. This means that the Senate Republicans – who hold the majority, with 53 votes – will finally need several Democrats to join them to support a bill to avoid a government closure. Until now, only one – Fetterman – said he would support the Gopgap Gopgap.

The impasse that the Senate is similar to what happened last March: the Senate Republicans, who control the upper room, will have to negotiate with the Senate Democrats to obtain the votes they need or risk a government closure.

The alternative CR of Democrats gives a roadmap to, in theory, what they might have to accept to attract democratic votes. Democrats can and will try to negotiate individual amendments such as ACA’s subsidies – despite the Republican leaders saying that it is a non -barer for them.

The head of the Senate minority, Chuck Schumer, and other Democrats continue to put pressure for the Republicans to engage in bipartite negotiations, that the Democrats claim that the republican management has avoided so far, despite their repeated calls.

“Listen, Donald Trump directs the show here,” said Schumer, by Punchbowl. “And he said,” Do not negotiate with the Democrats. We don’t need it. “There is one of the two things.

Schumer, who obtained a massive decline in the democratic base in March for having finally supported the republican CR in order to avoid a closure, takes a very different path this time. The chief of the minority suggested that he was ready to risk a closure to protect the principles for the Democrats. Schumer also worked in close collaboration with the chief of the Jeffries House minority in order to keep the united democrats and on the same message.

“We believe that the American people will understand that they cause a closure, once again, not doing [bipartisan]By not wanting to do anything health care at all, and by Trump, “said Schumer, referring to the recent remarks of President Trump asking the Republicans of the Congress to” do not even take the trouble to treat “Democrats.

“We want changes in health care to cancel the damage they have caused, and we want to make sure that if we adopt credits invoices, they cannot simply defeat it unilaterally with Vought, Omb and terminations. We have clearly done it for months, and we have been united for months. Our whole caucus are united, just as we were all united,” said later in the punchbowl interview.

Democratic messaging is based on the fact that the Republicans are in charge of the room, the Senate and the White House. They need our votes to finance the government for the next exercise and avoid a closure, underline the Democrats. The Republicans must therefore come to the table and negotiate with us.

“The government is working by negotiation and compromises. So far, they have not even wanted to discuss the CR,” Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said on Thursday. “There is a deadline for these tax credits for premiums, the subsidies that maintain affordable health insurance, which expires at the end of the year … It is an imperative that we cannot ignore by approving the CR and saying that we will deal with it in the next CR or the next budget.”

“We cannot wait a while in the future,” added Blumenthal. “Real life will be endangered when people fall sick and they cannot get health care. They cannot somehow postpone their illness to do another CR.”

Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) accepted, saying that they had heard “nothing” from the Republicans.

“Nothing that talks about the central problem,” Wyden told journalists in the Senate basement. “They have adopted invoices that increase health care costs for Americans and increased health insurance premium for Americans. It will take real measures to do something and it will not happen in a small cliché of your fingers, but at least you should start. And I don’t see any proof of wanting to do this. ”

The Republican leaders of the Chamber would have discussed a plan aimed at not putting the house back in session before the closing deadline to effectively blur the arm on the Senate to vote for the CR they adopted or accept a closure.

Legislators have until the end of September to find a way to finance the government or prepare for a government closure.

“Hopefully the republican management will sit down and speak to us with us,” Blumenthal told TPM. “So far, they haven’t wanted to do it. And the reason is that Donald Trump told them not to do it.”

“I do not think he understands what is the urgency of health care for the Americans,” said Blumenthal about the president. “He has lived in a world where everything has been given to him, but the history of real life for Americans is vital health insurance for their treatment of disease and suffering.”
