John Thune: “There will be an opportunity for Democrats to vote on a bill…”

“Obviously, I think you heard from the other side already, but, you know, clearly we had a couple of votes today, neither of which succeeded. But this isn't the last vote that we're going to have on keeping the government open. There will be an opportunity for Democrats to vote on a bill that has already passed the House of Representatives that when passed in the Senate, can go to the President's desk and fund a continuing resolution to keep the government open. and give us another seven weeks or so to complete the appropriations process. We think that's the right way to do this.” (00:22–00:36)
