flag Republicans offer concession to end shutdown; Democrats seek guarantees before voting.

flag A bipartisan push to end the U.S. government shutdown gained traction after Republicans offered Democrats a major policy concession in exchange for backing a short-term funding bill. flag The proposal, seen as a goodwill gesture, aims to break a two-week deadlock that has led to over 620,000 federal employees being furloughed and widespread service disruptions. flag Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer welcomed the move as progress but demanded binding guarantees a vote would be held. flag Democrats remain cautious, emphasizing the need for concrete commitments, while both parties face mounting pressure to reach a deal before further damage to federal operations and public trust occurs.
