Both parties’ Senate leadership urged lawmakers to work together to avoid a government shutdown during the upper chamber’s first day back in Washington as a deadline to fund the government by the end of the month looms large.
Senate Majority Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, said on the Senate floor Tuesday the “clear place” for the Senate to begin the session is to keep the government open. He preached that bipartisanship would be the key to avoiding a partial government shutdown.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, agreed with Mr. Schumer on preventing a government shutdown. That could change next week. Mr. McConnell said that the Senate will “aim to pass the first batch of their work out here on the floor” by next week.
