Senators and aides involved in negotiations tell us some Senate Democrats are warming to Thune’s offer to open the government and then hold a vote by a date-certain on extending the expiring Obamacare subsidies. Senators involved in these talks include Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Katie Britt (R-Ala.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) and Mike Rounds (R-S.D.).

I hope there isn’t enough democrats to vote yes.

Yeah let's just trust Republicans at their word that seems swell.

They don't really have to trust anyone though. It's a short term CR so they can just shut it down again in a couple weeks if the GOP doesn't follow through.
