Washington Examiner congressional reporter Lauren Green said Monday that the Democratic Party has faced pressure in recent weeks, prompting some members to take the first steps toward ending the government shutdown .

The legislation would fund the government through January 2026, but it does not include the Obamacare subsidies that Democrats have fought for, which will be voted on next month.
