Senators near deal to reopen government as key Democrats signal willingness to back plan

Several Senate Democrats may back a plan to reopen the government if the White House agrees to final concessions, signaling a possible breakthrough in the longest shutdown, a source said. The deal pairs a stopgap through January with three full-year appropriations for military construction and veterans affairs, the legislative branch and agriculture, including $203.5 million for member security and $852 million for Capitol Police. It omits enhanced ACA subsidies but promises a later Senate vote. Sticking points include reinstating fired federal workers. John Thune said a first vote could come Sunday, with a multi-step process ahead.
