ILLINOIS U.S. SENATORS VOTE

Illinois U.S. Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth differed as the Senate voted to advance a bill that could end the federal government’s partial shutdown. Durbin voted in favor of the measure that would guarantee a vote on the expiring Obamacare subsidies and reverse some of the Trump administration’s layoffs. Duckworth voted no, saying the agreement would not protect American families from what she called President Donald Trump’s “vindictive efforts” in exchange for a vague promise.
