The Senate will vote on a bill to reopen the federal government on Wednesday, according to Mr. Thune, the Republican leader in the US Senate, who expressed optimism that more Democratic support would break the funding impasse. "We got three [Democratic] votes when we voted tonight," Mr. Thune said in a television interview, adding that Republicans hoped to get more votes in the next round of voting. "Eventually, we will get enough votes in the Senate to pass this bill and keep the government running." Mr. Thune blamed Democratic leadership for the continuing government shutdown, accusing Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader and Democrat of New York, of pandering to progressive lawmakers. "This is completely unnecessary." "They're just doing it to appease the left-wing base and Schumer's fears," Thune said. (Kim 10)
