Senate Majority Leader McConnell (R-KY) has scheduled a vote for a clean continuing resolution (CR) that would reopen the government through February 8th. The vote is scheduled for 1 am Monday morning. The move is designed to force Senate Democrats to vote against reopening the government without immigration concessions. Minority Leader Schumer (D-NY) has floated the idea of a short term clean CR to continue negotiation on enacting legislation protecting Dreamers and DACA recipients. Republicans believe the vote will put Democrats in a negative position.
Stay tuned.
