Washington

Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream discussed the Senate's upcoming vote on a funding measure aimed at ending the ongoing U.S. government shutdown. The measure, which was previously passed by the House, would extend government funding only until November 21, with discussions underway to possibly extend it through January and include a vote on Obamacare subsidies. 

Bream also highlighted recent Democratic wins in off-year elections and the Supreme Court's review of presidential authority to impose tariffs. The upcoming show will feature Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin and a White House guest to provide perspectives on the shutdown and party strategy.

Could the U.S. government shutdown finally be coming to an end?

on your Friday morning Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream. Always has a busy week this morning and this weekend. No exception. Shannon, good morning to you. Thank you so much for taking time for us to preview your show on Sunday. I'm guessing you will perhaps explore the little thing called the governmental shutdown and if anything has changed by then. Yeah, Anthony, you're exactly right. And I will tell you the Senate is going to vote for the 15th time today on the funding measure the House passed weeks ago. But remember, it's only supposed to get us to November 21st. So they're talking about extending it funding through January. They're talking about adding some other things on like a guarantee of a vote on extending the Obamacare subsidies. So we'll see if that package comes together in a way that moves enough votes from Democrats. No to yes to get things moving. But again, substantive changes mean likely the House would have to come back. They are on a 48 hour standby to do that. So we'll see if we get progress today. Another topic top of mind for a lot of folks is what happened on Tuesday. These off year elections, the midterms and what happened on Tuesday night. Some big wins for Democrats across the countries along with the Supreme Court taking up this issue of tariffs and whether they were constitutional or not. Are those topics that are on the docket for your show this Sunday? Absolutely. That blue wave. We've got DNC Chair Ken Martin with us to talk about as they're celebrating. So the questions about the future of the party, do they go with the younger progressive, the big win for Zoran Mamdani in New York City, or do they go more centrist and moderate like the two wins they had in the governor's races in Virginia and New Jersey? Who's calling the shots in the party? We'll talk to him about that. And yes, the tariff arguments. I sat there for nearly three hours through these. I got to tell you, it's a winnable case for the White House, but I think it's going to be an uphill battle because there was a lot of skepticism from nearly every justice on the bench, including ones appointed by President Trump, about whether he has the power to do what he did with those sweeping tariffs for, you know, all kinds of countries and all kinds of ratcheted up percentages that are really painful for us. Indeed, indeed. You mentioned you're going to have someone from the Democratic Party on the program. Who else are you going to have on on Sunday, Shannon? We've got a White House guest that we just locked in. I don't know that I can publicly promote that, but I'll have it on social media shortly. But they're going to give us the other side of this shutdown conversation and how they plan and think that we're going to get to the end of that. But it's someone who's right in the thick of it. So you won't want to miss that. OK, Shannon Bream, we always look forward to the program. Have yourself a great weekend. In the meantime, we appreciate it. Thanks, Anthony. All right.
