Republicans Divided Over Next Steps to End US Shutdown

The article discusses the divisions within the Republican party over the next steps to end the ongoing US government shutdown. Members of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus and at least one influential Republican chairman are pushing for a long-term stopgap spending bill as part of their strategy. This approach is in contrast with the demands of President Trump and other Republicans for funding to build a wall on the southern border, which has been the primary sticking point in the negotiations. The article highlights the internal disagreements within the Republican party on how to resolve the impasse and reopen the government. The article does not provide any details on the specific proposals or positions of the different Republican factions, nor does it mention the response or actions of the Democratic party. The focus is solely on the divisions within the Republican party and their strategy to end the shutdown.
