(Washington, DC) — Illinois’ two US Senators are split on the proposal to reopen the government. The Senate voted 60 to 40 to pass a measure that includes a stopgap to fund the rest of government through January 30th. In a post on X, Senator Dick Durbin said the bill isn’t perfect, but it takes important steps to reduce the shutdown’s hurt. Senator Tammy Duckworth announced on social media that she can’t vote to do nothing to help protect American families from “Trump’s vindictive efforts in exchange for a vague promise from the least trustworthy Republican party in our nation’s history.”
