The group of fourteen senators—seven Republicans, six Democrats, and one Independent— have been negotiating a compromise plan to reopen government, avert the default, and restart budget negotiations on a long-term fiscal plan to deal with our nation’s unsustainable debt, among other provisions. “We are pleased that elements of our plan have been incorporated into the Senate leaders’ plan,” the Senators said in a joint statement. “The clock has run out, and it is time for our colleagues in both houses of Congress to adopt this bipartisan agreement.” Below are the members of the bipartisan group: Republicans Susan Collins (ME) Lisa Murkowski (AK) Kelly Ayotte (NH) John McCain (AZ) Mike Johanns (NE) Mark Kirk (IL) Jeff Flake (AZ) Democrats and Independent Joe Manchin (WV) Mark Pryor (AR) Amy Klobuchar (MN) Angus King (I-ME) caucuses with Democrats Joe Donnelly (IN) Heidi Heitkamp (ND) Jeanne Shaheen (NH) ###	1	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
