Washington Examiner<\/strong><\/a>
January 20, 2019<\/p>\n

S<\/span>enate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced he will take up legislation next week incorporating the deal President Trump outlined in a Saturday afternoon address<\/a> that supporters hope will end a partial government shutdown now entering its second month.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kentucky Republican\u2019s move to bring the deal up for a vote will put political pressure on Democrats in both chambers, who through their leaders publicly rejected Trump\u2019s proposal Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

It would take 60 votes to advance the measure in the Senate, which means Republicans will need the support of seven Democrats to pass the measure, assuming no GOP lawmakers vote against it.<\/p>\n

The shutdown has increasingly hurt the operations of dozens of partially closed federal agencies and has left 800,000 federal workers without paychecks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI intend to move to this legislation this week,\u201d McConnell said in a statement after Trump\u2019s announcement. \u201cWith bipartisan cooperation, the Senate can send a bill to the House quickly so that they can take action as well. The situation for furloughed employees isn\u2019t getting any brighter and the crisis at the border isn\u2019t improved by show votes. But the President\u2019s plan is a path toward addressing both issues quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n
