Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) “joined on the Senate floor Wednesday afternoon to formally announce a deal to reopen the government and extend the debt limit,” Roll Call reports.
No senators are expected to object to expediting the path forward for the legislation.
Robert Costa: “Votes on the measure will begin this afternoon. The Senate will vote
first, and then the House will consider the legislation. House
leadership aides predict if 70-plus senators support the deal, it’ll
have an easier chance of winning Republican votes in the House.”
