We can’t make commitments or promises on the Covid subsidies because that’s not something that we can guarantee that there are the votes there to do.

They’ll have a fourth chance tomorrow to open up the government. If that fails, we’ll give them the weekend to think about it. We’ll come back, vote again Monday.

Tom, let's come back to the basic premise: This is avoidable.

I’m all about getting it back open again. I think shutdowns are— nobody wins, and I think honestly, for the most part, they’re stupid.

if the government shuts down, it is on the Senate Democrats.

Democrats are well aware of the damage of a government shutdown.

Vote to open up the government, that issue goes away, right?

This Democrat shutdown is actually delaying progress on the issues that Democrats claim to be interested in.

We’ll probably set up some votes later in the week, but we’ll observe the Jewish holiday.
