Page 3 - Daca Vote News Today

Is now trying to backtrack. >> were going to have to start on a new basis and the wall offer is off the table. >> if senator schumer take something off the table, im sure well take something off the table. >> scott dworkin, an obama veteran who is also posting about leading the resistance, is claiming no "democrats won multiple battles over the shutdown. got chip funded, reopen the government, got a commitment from the g.o.p. on a daca vote. if they are lying, the government shuts down before he...

There will be a procedural vote tomorrow at noon. but its still not clear whether there are the votes there to reopen the government. heres what mitch mcconnell just said on the senate floor moments ago. >> i wanted to give all of our colleagues an update on where we are. i want to start by thanking senator graham, senator flake and senator collins and many others who have been working across the aisle to help resolve the impass we find ourselves at. when the democrat filibustered the government...

Bring up his own bill. he promised to allow something to be voted on. hes already done that. he did that on the tax bill to get jeff flakes vote. they already promised there could be a daca vote. i think the bigger problem, though, is committing the house. pi think the one point of leverage democrats now have in washington is the ability to block legislation in the senate that requires 60 votes. this is it. and i think whatever happens in the senate, i think democrats are concerned they might pa...

Let me bring back tim. the head line there is mitch mcconnell the majority leader wants to take a vote at 10:00 tonight. e we heard schumer reject that. so its unclear if thats going to happen. initially, there was a vote scheduled at 1:00 a.m. well wait and see what happens. mitch mcconnell laid out some things that appears to present theres some movement in terms of what republicans are willing to do to try to bring democrats to their side to pass this short-term funding bill. that is to make ...

Commitment to move on that issue, thats been a big push for the democrats, a central demand as part of the negotiations. we dont know whether leadership u is yet on that issue. we know a senior white house aid just arrived in the capital for a briefing with senate republicans. theres a discussion happening behind the scenes moving at a quick pace. because we expect a vote could happen tonight and maybe as late as 1:00 a.m. to determine whether or not they have reached that 60-vote threshold. the...

Clearly from talks, chuck schumer did not believe there was any commitment for these measures to get on the presidents desk. which is why they objected today. so tomorrow expect more negotiations, expect that vote to occur at noon tomorrow. key test vote. well see if any democratic minds change overnight. but right now, were looking at a shutdown that will at least have until tomorrow. well see how long it lasts whether those demands are not met and could last for some time. >> thank you for hel...

Want to continue this hard line that essentially keep the filibuster in place and not allow the vote to go forward. its important to keep in mind there are enough votes if there were a simple majority u to get this bill over the finish line. but from the republicans perspective the democrats are putting up the filibuster require the 60 votes. and this really was kind of born out of what we saw. happen all day here on capitol hill. that was had group of 22 different senators both republican and d...

Attention to the bottom right of your screen, mitch mcconnell has taken the podium but hasnt started speaking yet. hes waiting for something else to happen. were continuing to watch that. we wont miss it. but just to get to a point you made. if whatever his remarks are, we dont know if ast an announcement or to say were still working, but if we have a deal, were planning to take a vote, what if the daca legislation isnt part of what happens next? >> it would be surprising to e me, two things tha...

However, should these issues not be resolved by the time the funding bill before us expires on february 8th, 2018, assuming that the government. remains open it would be my attention to proceed to legislation that would address daca, border security and related issues. it is also my intention to take up legislation for increased disaster relief and other important matters. the shutdown should stop today. and well soon have a vote that will allow us to do exactly t t that. so lets step back from ...

Reserved for later in the day and morning business be closed. finally, the senate consideration of the house message to accompany hr-195. >> is there objection? >> without objection. >> no further business come before the senate, stand adjourned on the previous order. >> senate stands adjourned until 10:00 a.m. tomorrow. >> there you have it. doesnt sound like theres going to be a vote tonight. lets check in on capitol hill. are we interpreting that correctly? that no e vote tonight? >> thats ri...
