US govt shutdown enters day 38, political deadlock continues as Democrats shoot down GOP offer for concessions

Washington, Nov 7 (UNI) As the US government shutdown entered its 38th day, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, offering a carrot to his Democrat opponents, said that the GOP is open for another vote, this time pledging concessions, such as swap of the House-passed stopgap bill for a new funding patch, likely into January, along with full-year funding for veterans' programs, food aid and more.
However, Democrats — emboldened by strong election results earlier in the week — signalled they would again block the procedural vote, insisting that any deal must include an extension of expiring health insurance subsidies, a key demand not addressed in the latest GOP proposal, reports Politico.
"Leader Thune isn't doing himself any favours by not coming to the table," said Senator Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), who had been viewed as a potential swing vote but confirmed she would vote against the bill.
