"The Senate will be voting on a proposal to end the partial government shutdown. We’ll be voting on the one plan -- the only one on the table -- that could reopen the shuttered portions of the federal government. A pragmatic compromise that could end this impasse right away. So the choice is clear and the nation is watching. Members can vote to immediately reopen the entire government with a compromise package that the president will sign. Or they can hold out for the Democratic Leader’s dead-end proposal that stands no chance of earning the president’s signature and ending this partial shutdown."
