It came over from the House of Representatives, meaning that as soon as the Senate passes it, it goes directly to the President, he will sign it into law, the government will reopen. and all these adverse consequences that are being experienced by people across this country will go away. That's all it takes. Five more Democrats. (02:35–02:48)
