Plan is to bring up spending bills next week that both chambers agreed to in conference last year
House Democrats plan to ramp up the pressure on Republicans to reopen the government by holding votes next week on spending bills the GOP helped negotiate.
The plan is to hold a vote on a package of six fiscal 2019 appropriations bills that were agreed to by House and Senate negotiators last year but never brought to the floor.
The package also includes language to pay federal employees who have been working without pay or who have been furloughed during the partial government shutdown.
