"It would be that same CR. But it would also offer some appropriations bills attached to it. Also, potentially a provision about RIFs, those those reductions in force that Democrats are trying to roll back, said Vitali, who added that What Leader Thune just told me is that maybe it might not. And that's because he doesn't want to, he says, put it on the floor if he doesn't think that Democrats are going to vote for it."
"And obviously the Democrat leadership is in a box. And I don't think they're going to be they're not going to be the people voting to deliver an outcome here. It's going to be rank-and-file Democrats who want to do the right thing for the country and are willing to, you know, put the politics of their extreme left aside in order to do that."
A continuing resolution similar to prior proposals was planned, offering the same CR with attached appropriations bills and a potential provision addressing reductions in force (RIFs). The measure was not brought to the floor without confidence that enough Democratic senators would support it. Democratic leadership is constrained and unlikely to deliver a unified yea vote. Rank-and-file Democrats are positioned as the decisive votes who could reopen the government if they prioritize governing over the left flank's politics. Observers judged that Democrats likely lack immediate unified votes and will wait until they coalesce.
