Reporter Mitch Mcconnell left saying its time to go to bed with some type of a victory because democrats had to agree to come back tomorrow. So its unclear if theyll actually pass a measure tomorrow. Reporter the senate adjourned sunday night without a vote to reopen the government. We have yet to reach an agreement on a path forward that would be acceptable for both sides.

Heres dick durbin praising senators on both sides for coming to that agreement. What i am seeing on the floor of the senate in the last few days is something we have not seen for years.
