Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.), a leading player in the immigration talks, said a spending bill that does not help Dreamers would not end the standoff.



A bipartisan group of moderates met in the office of Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) later in the day to discuss a deal to reopen the government that could be presented to Republican and Democratic leaders.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who voted for the four-week stopgap measure on Friday and faces reelection in a state Trump carried by 42 points, told reporters that the group of moderates hope to present a plan to leaders on Sunday.


He said that as many as 18 or 19 senators may sign onto the proposal.

“We’re trying to see if we can talk to the leadership on both sides and tell them what we think is a path forward,” Manchin told Bloomberg News.

He said that immigration would have to be “part of the package.”
