Senate leaders have a bipartisan funding deal in hand but it remains to be seen whether they will avert a costly government shutdown as the clock ticks down toward Friday’s midnight deadline.

Senate Democrats and a few Republicans on Thursday blocked a major government funding package that needs to pass by 11:59 p.m. Friday to avoid a government shutdown, signaling that negotiations between President Trump and Senate Democrats still have a way to go before reaching a deal.

Senate Democrats say Republicans have agreed to separate DHS funding from a package of five other appropriations bills that have already passed the House but have not yet cleared the Senate.
