WASHINGTON — The Senate is finalizing a funding bill that would end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, after eight Democrats voted with Republicans Sunday night to push forward a deal to fund the government.
Here's what we know.
When will the shutdown end?
As of Monday afternoon, it's unclear when the final vote in the Senate will take place. Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters he wanted to hold a vote on the package as early as Monday evening.
However, without unanimous consent from all 100 senators, it could take much of the week to move through procedural votes before sending it to the House. Senate Majority Leader John Thune was still working out concerns within his Republican conference about individual provisions in the underlying spending bills.
