Richard Arnold: US Correspondent on the Senate approving a bill that could end the Government shutdown

View descriptionShare

Division within Democrats as US Senators approve the final version of a Bill that could end the weeks-long Government shutdown.  

The deal from a group of Democrats and GOP leaders will go to the House of Representatives, then will need signing into law by the President.  

Under the deal, the Government will reopen in exchange for a future vote on extending Affordable Care subsidies. 

Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley told CNN it's unlikely that vote will go anywhere, because Republicans have vastly different healthcare ideals. 

US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that the Democrats who flipped say that they’ve at least set the table for the debate in the midterm elections.
