Bernie Sanders On Shutdown Deal: Dems are 'Not Prepared' to 'Take on Trump' - What A Day
Monday night, the Senate passed legislation to reopen the government, sending it to the House.
The eight Senate Democrats who reached a deal with Republicans over the weekend defended their compromise ahead of the vote Monday.
