Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) will say Friday that Democrats would vote to end the shutdown in exchange for a one-year extension of expiring Obamacare tax credits, multiple sources told Axios.

Feels like they should ask for more but I’m not the one negotiating with fascists

Terrible end of shutdown offer. He needs to retire like Nancy. I don’t think Republicans will take it tho.
kber13 on
He wants the gOP to run against healthcare in the 2026 elections. If the republicans were smart, they’d insist on a 2 year extension and take the issue off the table for the midterms.
Cael26 on
Ah, so he took a page out of the Republican playbook so they can run on the subsidy issue during the Midterms and it will surely come back up during the ’28 race
Former-Counter-9588 on
He only said 1 year because he expects Dems to win back the house next year and maybe gain in the senate.
It’s foolish. It should be a 10 year extension. Maybe even a 5 year extension at minimum.
Enough playing politics. If it’s about the people, the offer would be more serious and long term.

As long as they are extended as part of the agreement (not a bullshit promise to vote on it after) this is fine.
If they want to kick the can let them. Either they’ll get destroyed over the same issue again in a year or Democrats will be in control to pass them permanently or address the core issue (cost).

Good luck!

Um what about medicaid?
What kind of horseshit is this? If you’re not even going to hold onto medicaid then you damn well should be extending the ACA more than one stupid year.

I’m confused by the article and the comments here.
That has always been what the dems were asking for. There has been no change
bomblance on
I don’t understand. Isn’t the damage from subsidies lapsing already done? Rates have already skyrocketed. What would a year fix. I’m legitimately asking someone to explain this to me.

Any chance Dems knew it would be immediately rejected and floated it just to further make GOP look bad for not coming to the table?
westgazer on
You mean the offer that Republicans are already rejecting? Could it be they knew that would happen and are continuing to let the country see it is Republicans who are refusing to even work together to do this?

Trump has already taken so many L’s that i doubt his narcissistic ego can handle any more turns against him; I predict that he will DIG IN and make this shut down as long and painful as possible to attempt to get his way. This shut down will be continue until Republicans fully break with him and make a deal with Dems.

This would punt the fight to right before next years election. Progressive candidates should seize the opportunity
astrozombie2012 on
Fuck that, one year ain’t enough… we’ll be right back here next year or worse.
Zealousideal_Bet9354 on
Smart move. Democrats have proven to win when healthcare is on the ballot, and this one year extension will make it so.

What a weird way to title the article. Why is all of the media MAGA cucks 😭

This is no where near enough.
The price needs to be trumps tax cuts from both terms.
And ACA is no longer on a CR…
Stop kicking the can down the road.
KTX77 on
Man, I sure wish we had a President that had read The Art of The Deal. Maybe then they could step in and help resolve this thing.
EyeDrops4Cyclops on
Why the fuck is this framed in a way that suggests democrats are “charging” the republicans a “price”? I will never understand how fucking basic decency and making sure people don’t have to choose between death and being enslaved to medical debt is a “price” that someone has to pay.
daugherd on
They should have gone back and said, sorry 1-year extension is off the table and increase the duration now that republicans took the L last week.
pillbox_purgatory on
All this for a single 1 year extension? So this fight will happen again in a year?
Establishment Dems always disappoint.
Contron on
And don’t budge.
NHBikerHiker on
So we can endure another shutdown next year??
Tell you what Chuck – you kick the can down the road but only IF Congress doesn’t get paid and must remain in the Capitol building TOGETHER until a deal is hashed out.
That would be for future shutdowns – y’all stay at work, unpaid, and don’t leave the building until a deal is made. You can send out for pizza.
SpongEWorTHiebOb on
Democrats thinking small once again. A one year extension is a pretty low ask.
ExtensionIcy2104 on
Should add we will re open the government with the full release of the epstein files…. then get the republicans to impeach trump and his entire cabinet arrested and then make the country normal again
Puppygirlviolence on
does this “ending the shutdown” imply them voting on the thing that ends trans healthcare?
caseyjosephine on
Title should be Republicans double down on helping Americans starve to prove they don’t care if they die.
Minute-Plantain on
The difference is, Schumer said it again with his half moon glasses even lower on his nasal bridge. That means he’s serious!
memphisjones on
F that. Extend it for 10 years
Circuit_Guy on
Why is it the Dems shutting it down? Exhausted with this messaging.
They’re the *MINORITY* party and don’t have the votes to open it, aren’t filibustering, and can’t even call a session. The majority party could pass a vote today to reopen and even remove healthcare (which is what they’re asking for!), they just know it’s so unpopular they want Dems to vote to do it.
escahpee on
And the repubs said no because they are doing what their dear leader tells them to. Now the repubs own the shutdown
DanTheMan827 on
The real question is will the republicans negotiate, or will they use the nuclear option?
Solcannon on
Watch the Republicans agree and then take all the credit for the 2026 tax credits.
aerost0rm on
If the republicans wanted to win so bad, why not just say that the democrats wanted a two year plus extension and they talked them down to 1 year. Oh wait it’s because that is more money for them to grift or use for the personal army…
