Nov. 7 (UPI) -- Democrats are ready to end the federal government shutdown if Republicans agree to extend Affordable Care Act credits for another year, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced Friday afternoon.
Schumer, D-N.Y., said Senate Democrats favor passing a temporary funding measure and three other bills that would fund the federal government for one year, CNN reported.
"Democrats are offering a very simple compromise," Schumer said on the Senate floor.
"Now, the ball is in the Republicans' court," he added. "We need Republicans to just say yes."
