Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rejected a House plan to halt the fiscal impasse, as he tried to build support for an emerging bipartisan Senate agreement to end the government shutdown and prevent a U.S. default.
The House proposal, which Republican leaders detailed to their members just hours earlier today, “can’t pass the Senate and won’t pass the Senate,” said Reid, a Nevada Democrat. It is “an extreme piece of legislation and it’s nothing more than a blatant attack on bipartisanship.”
