Republicans rejected a Democratic offer to end the ongoing government shutdown this morning, November 8th, 2025, at approximately 9:45 AM UTC. The Democratic proposal involved a one-year extension of Obamacare subsidies, which Republicans deemed a non-starter. Senator John Curtis, speaking for Republicans exiting a meeting, stated that the Democratic offer was a "non-starter" and that similar sentiments were held by other Republican members. The Democratic proposal, as reported by Kalshi, aimed to extend Obamacare subsidies for one year in an effort to resolve the shutdown. Kalshi had previously forecast the shutdown to last 49 days but updated the forecast to 46 days following the Democratic offer. The rejection of this offer suggests the shutdown is likely to continue.
