Could the republicans do this

They voted 13 times to open it according to the news. The democrats want more funds for uninsured people on Medicare and the republicans want less…neither side is budging.

They could, by nuking the filibuster, as Trump has pointed out.

Some Republicans actually still see past the Trump Regime, though.

My guess is, we're about to hear a bunch about "seriously considering" that again, but I doubt they're ready to do it yet.

I sure wish they could.

No, they were able to force the so called big beautiful bill without a single democratic vote because it was done under reconciliation, something they can't do with this bill that is holding up the government funding, this bill requires 60 votes in the senate and the republicans only have 53 so they need 7 democrats.

Yes. They don't want to open the government because the shutdown is an excuse to fire government workers.

Or vice versa

Yes, the Republican Senate could utilize the “nuclear option” and require only a majority vote rather than 60 votes as stated in the Constitution to restart the government🥰.

not for much longer, they dont have a big enough majority for now...maybe next tuesday on election day

Nuclear option. Do it.

No ... the democrats in the senate are blocking with a filibuster

Thats the plan. Of course, thats not exactly how they will do it. Thats just how it will work out with all the Democrats in jail or missing..😷

They need 60 votes, Chuck the Cuck Schumer forbids the dems from voting yes.
