Senate to Vote at Noon on Whether to End Government Shutdown
It's unclear if this plan will win over enough Democrats to pass
The vote will come several hours after the workday for hundreds of thousands of furloughed federal employees was supposed to have begun, and comes three days after the government officially shut down Friday at midnight. Many of the shutdown's full effects were less visible during the weekend, when much of the federal workforce would typically be off anyway.
The vote was moved from 1 a.m. ET Monday to 12 p.m. after it became clear Democrats would block the spending bill over disagreements on a variety of issues, most notably what do about young people affected by the
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA).
