Now that the Senate has shot down President Donald Trump's compromise offer to end the month-long government shutdown, White House officials aren't sure of their next move.

But they do know one thing: they're losing, and they want to cut a deal. [...]

The White House's new appetite for a negotiated resolution came after the administration managed to peel off just one Democratic vote -- that of Sen. Joe Manchin (D, W.V.) -- a fact that came as a particular surprise to Trump's son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner, who has touted his relationships with Democratic lawmakers but lacks deep experience on Capitol Hill.

Meanwhile several Republicans abandoned their party to vote for a Democratic counter proposal offered by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer that would have funded the entire government through March 8 without providing any additional money for the wall. That was a grim sign for Trump and his aides looking for a way to end the partial shutdown.
