- The White House invited all Senate Republicans to a breakfast as behind-the-scenes talks continue, while Trump urged eliminating the filibuster, a move rebuffed by Senate Majority Leader John Thune.
- With funding set to lapse on Nov. 21, leaders face a narrowing window as open enrollment began Nov. 1 with ACA recipients facing soaring premiums and no clear shutdown end.
