flag Senate leader Thune offers ACA subsidy deal to avoid shutdown but lacks Democratic support.

flag Senate Majority Leader John Thune says he’s open to supporting Democratic demands on Affordable Care Act subsidies ahead of a Friday shutdown vote, offering post-shutdown votes on ACA renewals and tax credits to secure Democratic support. flag He needs eight Democratic senators to break ranks but remains five short. flag Democrats reject previous proposals due to insufficient guarantees on pandemic-era ACA subsidies set to expire in January. flag Senate leaders express skepticism about House Speaker Mike Johnson honoring any deal, while Dick Durbin blames President Trump for undermining past bipartisan agreements. flag Thune emphasizes he can only ensure a debate process, not outcomes, and cannot speak for the House.
