House and Senate leaders on Wednesday reached a bipartisan deal to avert a partial government shutdown ahead of Friday’s looming deadline.
Under the terms of the deal, the House is expected to vote Thursday on a temporary funding bill. The Senate will vote soon after.
With Democratic support, the legislation is expected to pass the House. It could face procedural hurdles in the Senate if one member objects to expediting the voting process, potentially pushing a vote past the shutdown deadline.
