Government shutdown: Where the senators stand

Sen. Mike Rounds (South Dakota) -- "For me it's a matter of defense and a matter of trying to make sure that in the future the message is let's get our work done on time. It has been 44 years since we actually had a budget act that was workable. In the last 44 years in only three cases have we actually gotten this budget and appropriations process done on time. That's a terrible message to send. If I was in South Dakota and we were doing this kind of stuff, they would throw us out of the capital." (Thursday, on CNN's "New Day")

Sen. Rand Paul (Kentucky) -- He said he's voting no. (Thursday to reporters)

Sen. Joe Manchin (West Virginia) -- "I want to keep the government open. I'm just going to work and work and work to keep the government open." (Wednesday to reporters)

Sen. Michel Bennet (Colorado) -- "I'm very, very unlikely to support that." (Thursday, to reporters)

Sen. Tom Carper (Delaware) -- "To set the record straight, I'm leaning NO on the CR. I want a comprehensive deal. I'm really frustrated by what's coming out of the White House -- in part the behavior of the president, but also just the unwillingness to negotiate in good faith." (Tweet on Wednesday)

Sen. Pat Leahy (Vermont) -- "All of this stuff could have been done months and months ago. Should have been done months ago. But I don't think anyone wants to vote for a joke that undercuts defense, undercuts domestic issues." (Thursday, to reporters)

Sen. Brian Schatz (Hawaii) -- He said he doubts he would vote for it. "There's no reason we can't get this done. We have legislation that can garner a majority in both chambers. The onus is on the Majority Leader and the Speaker to schedule...there is one compromise that can get the votes." (Wednesday)

Sen. Cory Booker (New Jersey) -- "I will vote against a clean CR if it does not include DACA, a fix to some of the other things that are high priorities to me. Why are we kicking the can down the road?" (Tuesday)

Sen. Ben Cardin (Maryland) -- "I don't think we should have any CRs. We should have a budget. Why are we doing a CR?Is something going to change in the next four weeks that I don't know about? We should have a budget." (Thursday, to reporters)

Sen. Bob Casey (Pennsylvania) -- He put out a statement Thursday saying he's a no.

Sen. Chris Coons (Delaware) -- "This bill avoids solving our months-overdue challenge of adequately funding our military, which is already stretched too thin, and providing a balanced overall plan for spending. This one-month temporary patch ignores the fact that Florida, Texas, California, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are still in desperate need of relief from natural disasters that happened months ago now. It leaves unfunded Community Health Centers that thousands of Delawareans rely on for basic health needs. Finally, this bill effectively tells Dreamers, whom President Trump has arbitrarily sentenced to deportation beginning on March 5, that this country doesn't want them here. Failing to address all these issues is no way to run a country, and I will not support it." (Thursday, statement)

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (New York) -- "Protecting Dreamers is a moral imperative. I will not vote for a spending bill that doesn't treat Dreamers fairly." (Wednesday on Twitter)

Sen. Maggie Hassan (New Hampshire) -- "I will join my colleagues -- both Republicans and Democrats -- in opposing this four-week funding bill, and I will continue working for common-sense compromises that bring our country the security and stability we need."

Sen. Martin Heinrich (New Mexico) -- "Members on both sides of the aisle have been working to reach agreement and meet our basic responsibilities, including veterans funding, disaster relief, and finally passing the Dream Act, but President Trump and his right-wing supporters in Congress seem intent on steering the country off a funding cliff. Their latest 30-day spending bill leaves bipartisan, must-pass priorities to languish and creates another unnecessary deadline that fails to fully fund our military and other key investments and only spreads chaos once again." (Wednesday)

Sen. Mazie Hirono (Hawaii) - "I will be voting no on the House CR because it does not include protections for Dreamers, funding for the Children's Health Insurance program and Community Health Centers, and parity between defense and domestic spending." (Tweet Thursday)

Sen. Tim Kaine (Virginia) -- "We oppose the House Continuing Resolution, which punts budget discussions until mid-February. ... Congress should remain in session with no recess until we work out a long-term bipartisan budget deal that addresses all issues." (Thursday, statement)

Sen. Jeff Merkley (Oregon) -- He said the plan doesn't address Dreamers (Thursday, to CNN)

Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vermont) -- Republicans control the House, Senate and White House. They have to pass an annual budget, not more one-month continuing resolutions. We need a bipartisan solution to the economic crises facing the middle class, to the DACA crisis that Trump created and to disaster relief. (Wednesday, tweet)

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire) -- "I will vote no on the House CR. This is no way to run a government. Time to keep our promises. Congress must fund a response to the opioid epidemic, children's health care, community health centers, end the defense sequester & fix DACA. These short-term bills hurt our country." (Wednesday on Twitter)

Sen. Tom Udall (New Mexico) -- "The Republicans' bill is irresponsible, and l can't support it. We need to stop kicking the can down the road, vote on a bipartisan Dream Act, and work together on a responsible bipartisan budget agreement that adequately funds our national security and the needs of our communities -- in New Mexico and across the nation. So President Trump and the Republicans have a choice: they can either come to the table and negotiate in good faith on a responsible funding agreement and protection for DREAMers -- or they can cause a government shutdown." (Wednesday)

Sen. Mark Warner (Virginia) -- "We oppose the House Continuing Resolution, which punts budget discussions until mid-February." (Thursday, statement)

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Massachusetts) -- She has said she won't vote for a bill without a DACA solution.

Sen. Ron Wyden (Oregon) -- "There is a bipartisan solution on DACA and many other important issues before Congress including funding for Secure Rural Schools, deadly wildfires and other natural disasters. Instead, congressional Republicans chose a partisan giveaway of $1.5 trillion in tax cuts for multinational corporations that leaves 13 million Americans uninsured." (Wednesday, statement)

Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (North Dakota) -- "You tell me what's coming across (from the House) if anything." (Thursday, to reporters)

Sen. Doug Jones (Alabama) -- "Still working, still trying to figure it all out. My concern is another CR — that's no way to run the government." (Thursday to reporters)

Sen. Angus King (Maine) -- Q: Will you vote for the CR? "No...I think Mike Rounds agrees with me, I'm sick of voting for CRs...We have to close this escape hatch and stop voting for CRs and tell leadership they have to make their deals and then we will get it done. I'd vote for one for a few days to do the paperwork, but to kick it down the road for another month, we're not going to know anything then that we don't know now." (Thursday, on CNN's "New Day")

Sen. Ed Markey (Massachusetts) -- He has said he won't vote on a bill without a DACA solution.

Sen. Gary Peters (Michigan) -- He said he wants to see what the House is going to do. (Wednesday, to CNN)

Sen. Jon Tester (Montana) -- He said it "needs more stuff" for him to support it. (Thursday, to CNN)

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (Connecticut) -- "At some point standing on moral principle is why we are here and we made a promise to the dreamers." (Wednesday)

Sen. Sherrod Brown (Ohio) -- He said Thursday he hasn't decided.

Sen. Dick Durbin (Illinois) -- "I didn't run for the Senate to shut down the government. But this is an issue of the moment." (Wednesday, interview with Suzanne Malveaux)

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (California) -- She told CNN Thursday afternoon that she had not made up her mind yet. I don't know how I would vote right now on a CR, OK?" However, her office earlier in the day put out a statement saying she would oppose it. "I said in December that I wouldn't vote for a CR without the Dream Act, and I won't do so now.

Sen. Chris Murphy (Connecticut) -- "Is Mitch McConnell ready to negotiate with Democrats?" ... there's no sign they're willing to sit down with Democrats ... right now this CR doesn't have 50 votes, much less 60 votes." (Thursday to reporters)
