Don't see any situation in which Republicans are going to negotiate right now, says Jake Sherman

Government Shutdown & Funding - A US government shutdown occurred due to disagreements between Democrats and Republicans on federal spending [1] - Republicans passed a clean funding bill to extend funding until November 21st, while Democrats seek an extension of enhanced COVID-era Obamacare premium subsidies [2] - Republicans are largely unified in their stance against extending these subsidies, viewing them as not "appetizing" in the context of government funding negotiations [5][9] - A potential resolution involves extending government funding for seven weeks, with the likelihood of renewed conflict thereafter [4] Political Strategy & Negotiation - Republicans are perceived to have the upper hand and are unlikely to concede to Democratic demands [2] - The strategy involves repeatedly putting up the clean CR bill, hoping more Democrats will "fold" [3] - Exhaustion from the shutdown's impact on government services could eventually push both parties toward reopening the government [12] - Republicans are not inclined to negotiate at this time, with key figures stating they will not offer anything beyond the current proposal [11] Healthcare Debate - A central point of contention is the extension of Obamacare tax credits, initially implemented during COVID [4][19] - Republicans argue these credits were temporary and should not be part of government funding [19] - Democrats are not explicitly trying to provide healthcare to illegal immigrants through this process [17][18] - There is a disagreement on whether federal funds are indirectly covering healthcare for millions of undocumented immigrants, particularly in states like California [18] - Potential for healthcare premiums to jump 75% if the subsidies are not extended, which could create problems for Republicans [19]
