YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Hill's Drew Petrimoulx chats with senior staff writer Alexander Bolton on the timeline of the government shutdown. Senators say they expect the government shutdown to drag out until at least the middle of next week, with some fearing it could go even longer.

The Senate rejected votes to reopen the government Wednesday, and the chamber will be out of session Thursday in observance of Yom Kippur.

The Senate will return Friday, but few expect the vote that day on the House GOP measure to fund the government to have a different result.

Two Democratic senators and Independent Sen. Angus King (Maine) voted for the measure for a second time Wednesday, but Republicans would need another five Democrats to reach 60 votes — the threshold needed to send the measure to President Trump.

Democrats say the votes won’t be there because Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) has made it clear he won’t support it, and he would face a huge political backlash if he flip-flopped.
