John Thune: “We're not going to negotiate on anything until Democrats stop holding government funding hostage.”

So if you want to see the country succeed and move forward, we've got to have a majority in the U.S. Senate to work with this president.

That's not a good place for the American people to be.

It ought to be something that should be a no brainer here on the floor of the Senate.

Both pieces of legislation strike at the very heart of issues that the American people care deeply about, passionately about, and we'll see if the Democrats are willing to take yes for an answer.
