Live updates: Senators work through weekend on shutdown deal; Trump to attend Commanders game
Senators will once again gather at the Capitol on Sunday in an effort to negotiate an end to the government shutdown, which has now stretched to 40 days.
A rare Saturday session was held, but it yielded little progress despite mounting pressures on lawmakers to reach a resolution.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) informed reporters as the weekend began that senators will remain in session until a deal is achieved.
The continued shutdown has heightened urgency among members of Congress, who face increasing calls to restore government operations and address the impact on the public.
