The good news is there will be a vote to reopen the government. the bad news is, says CNN, "both likely to fail"

The Senate will vote on both on Thursday

One is a Republican plan to fund President Trump's border wall and reopen government

The other is on the bill already passed in the House of Representatives to reopen government but not providing new wall funding

  • CNN again:
  • Both proposals are expected to fail at this point because either would need 60 votes to advance.
  • Republicans hold 53 Senate seats
  • 13 Republicans would have to crossover for the Democratic bill to pass, which appears unlikely
