Via Fox News:
Day One of a government shutdown, filled with increasingly angry finger pointing from both Democrats and Republicans, appeared to produce little Saturday in terms of a potential solution for the impasse on how to fund the government.
But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell insisted that a vote to break a Democratic filibuster on a short-term spending bill to reopen the government would happen by 1 a.m. Monday.
“I asked for consent to move up a vote on this bipartisan solution and end this craziness. The Democrats objected,” McConnell said late Saturday, Roll Call reported. “That won’t work forever. If they continue to object, we cannot proceed to a cloture vote until 1 a.m. Monday.
“But I assure you,” McConnell added, “we will have the vote at 1 a.m. Monday, unless there is a desire to have it sooner.”
After ending talks Saturday, the Senate planned to reconvene at 1 p.m. Sunday, Roll Call reported.
