Senate Democrats, led by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, are advocating for a 30-day continuing resolution (CR) proposed by Senator Murray to fund the government, following a lengthy lunch meeting. This proposal comes as the current funding deadline approaches on Friday. Schumer has stated that Senate Republicans lack the votes to invoke cloture on the House-passed CR, indicating that Democrats are unified in their support for a clean funding bill that would extend government operations until April 11. This move is intended to prevent a government shutdown and allow time for bipartisan negotiations on a longer-term funding solution. The push for a month-long interim spending bill by Democrats highlights their strategy to avoid a shutdown, amidst challenges posed by the GOP's control of the Senate and the absence of the House.

Sen. Schumer said Democrats have the votes to block the House’s spending bill. "Our caucus is unified on a clean April 11 CR that will keep the government open and give Congress time to negotiate bipartisan legislation that can pass. We should vote on that."
