Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer speaks to the members of the media during a press conference, following Senate Democrats weekly policy lunch on Capitol Hill in Washington, September 30, 2025. The Senate is voting Wednesday morning on two votes on bills aimed at funding the government. The votes are on the same two bills that the Senate failed to advance on Tuesday. The first is, once again, a procedural vote on the Democrats’ government funding proposal that includes the health care provisions they’ve been seeking. Thune said that Republicans are now in the hunt for those few additional Democrats to support their clean, short term funding bill.
