WASHINGTON—The Senate was driving toward a deal to end the record government shutdown, with the top Senate Republican saying to expect a vote as soon as Sunday but also warning that an unpredictable negotiation could still hit some snags.
“The deal is coming together,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R., S.D.) said as he headed to the Senate floor to open the chamber for business. “We’ll see where the votes are,” he said, warning that “this kind of stuff can drag out indefinitely.” As he headed back to his office, he said, “there’s going to be something to vote on—let’s put it that way.”
