US EditionDemocrats consider prolonging the shutdown as Republicans prepare new bills without health care fix
- On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., pushed a new bipartisan package to end the shutdown as bipartisan talks intensified in Washington, D.C.

- That short extension would only fund the government until Nov. 21, as lawmakers from both parties urged action to ease airport disruptions, pay government workers and restore food aid.
