The Democratic House and Senate leaders sent a letter to President Donald Trump on Wednesday morning, a day after elections nationwide saw their party pick up gains in blue regions, demanding \u201cbipartisan\u201d talks to reopen the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe write to demand a bipartisan meeting of legislative leaders to end the GOP shutdown and decisively address the Republican healthcare crisis,\u201d the short letter began. \u201cDemocrats stand ready to meet with you anytime, anyplace.\u201d<\/p>\n

The letter comes after most Senate Democrats have voted 14 times against a GOP-led spending bill to reopen the government.<\/p>\n

Also, the healthcare crisis stems from the end of Obamacare subsidies beginning December 1, a benefit created by Democrats with no Republican support during President Obama\u2019s first term. Democrats also extended the taxpayer-supported subsidies during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile,\u00a0a new report<\/a>\u00a0suggests that key elements of a potential deal to end the federal government shutdown are beginning to take shape \u2014 though it remains uncertain when, or even if, all sides will reach an agreement.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Axios<\/a>, the proposed \u201cthree-legged\u201d plan includes three main components: a Senate vote on Affordable Care Act tax credits, a short-term continuing resolution to give negotiators more time to finalize a full-year budget for the fiscal year that began October 1, and a separate vote to fund military construction, the legislative branch, and agriculture programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we\u2019re getting close to an off-ramp here,\u201d Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a Republican from South Dakota, told the outlet.<\/p>\n
