Out front next, breaking news. The Senate about to vote to end the shutdown as the House gets ready to race back to Washington to vote. So is there really an end in sight? I'll speak with one top Democrat who says his party just surrendered. Plus, a federal judge with 40 years on the bench calling it quits over Trump, saying he is a threat to democracy.

Judge Mark Wolfe is my guest.

And the breaking news, it is being called the worst major league baseball scandal since Pete Rose.

There is new fallout this hour.

Bob Kossis is here with the latest.

Let's go out front.

And good evening.

I'm Erica Hill.

In for Aaron Burnett. Out front tonight, the breaking news,

a vote to end the longest shutdown in U.S. history may be in sight. The Senate is expected to vote soon on a measure to reopen the government. Now that vote taking place after eight senators broke ranks

with the Democrats to support funding the government. President Trump

giving the deal his vote of confidence.

Do you personally approve of the deal that's happening right down Capitol Hill?

If it's a deal I heard about, that's certainly, you know, they want to change the deal a little

bit, but I would say so.

That Senate deal does not include Democrats' original demand to extend Obamacare subsidies,

only a vote in the Senate by next month to extend the subsidies, which are set to expire January 1st.

Tonight, House Speaker Mike Johnson, though, is refusing to guarantee a House vote on health care.

Would you bring it up?

Well, the bill that's going to pass. No, to extend the subsidies, that later vote. I can't commit to anything that hasn't even passed through the Senate yet. Will you have a vote on the issue as you're 13 Republicans, frontline Republicans, people that are, you're the speaker because of them? Yes. They're in districts that are vulnerable. Sure. Will you have a vote so they can vote? The very people that you were citing in the letter believe we have to have a real reform. So you're not committing to bringing up a bill that deals with the Obamacare subsidies before they expire? I'm not committing to it or not committing to it. So Democrats in many ways, right where they started, and that has a lot of Democrats fuming tonight.

One congressman telling Axios, it's complete BS.

Congressman Rokana writing on X, Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced.
