Senate Republican support for eliminating the filibuster is picking up momentum after President Trump invited members of the Senate GOP conference to the White House for a breakfast meeting

Senate Democrats appeared emboldened in their shutdown posture Wednesday after a sweep in key races in Tuesday's elections. But the caucus appears split on how to proceed, with some progressives urging Democrats not to cave now on their health care demands, while some moderates engage in talks on a way out.

U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, who is running to be Florida's next governor, called for U.S. Senate GOP leaders to end the filibuster.

Ron Johnson's reversal came just after President Trump called on Senate Republicans to end the filibuster as a way to end the government shutdown

Bipartisan Senate talks aimed at ending the government shutdown continued as both parties grappled with the fallout from Tuesday's elections, and the FAA said it would cut airline capacity in dozens of markets.

Chuck Schumer took a victory lap on the Senate floor and said Tuesday's results prove that it's time for Republicans to negotiate with Democrats on ending the shutdown.

After meeting with Trump, some Republican senators appear more open to nuking the 60-vote filibuster rule. But GOP Leader John Thune says, "It's just not happening."

President Trump wants to kill the filibuster in order to break the deadlock over the record-breaking government shutdown. The big picture: Removing the filibuster would upend a Senate tradition that dates back to the 1800s and potentially haunt both parties for years to come.
