Welcome to meet the press now. I'm Kelly O'Donnell on day 42 of the government shutdown.

As much of official Washington is pausing to observe Veterans Day.

But the federal government is now one step closer to reopening after last night when the Senate

passed a bipartisan deal to end the shutdown with exactly the 60 votes needed.

Eight members of the Democratic caucus voted with Republicans, even though this does not include Democrats' central demand of an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies, those members defending their votes.

If the battle plan isn't working, you change the battle plan, you try another tactic.

We got a deal.

It was the only deal on the table.

What happened over the last 40 days is we crystallized the fight about health care for the American people and made it clear who's holding that up.

Are you concerned now that the government is reopened that these ACA subsidies may not be extended?

Absolutely. It's entirely, entirely possible. But right now with the shutdown, we're getting,

we're not getting either. And now it's on to the House, whose members are making their way back

to Washington after more than a month of being out of session for an expected vote that's scheduled

tomorrow.

Now, the bill is expected to pass in the House where Republicans hold a thin majority, but it is not

a sure thing.

Yesterday, President Trump did signal his support for the deal.

Based on everything I'm hearing, they haven't changed anything, and we have support

from enough Democrats, and we're going to be opening up our country. I'll abide by the deal.

The deal is very good.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries opposes the bill and is encouraging his members to vote no, calling on Democrats

to continue to wage the fight over health care costs. Here was Leader Jeffries earlier today.
