One of lifes most underappreciated talents is to know when its time to move on to lifes next chapter. So i stand before you today, mr president and my colleagues, to say this will be my last term as republican leader of the senate. For more on both mcconnell s stepping down and the spending deal, heres our North America correspondent gary odonoghue. After repeated attempts to get a spending agreement, it does look like leadership in congress from both sides have at least reached a partial agreement on some of the Spending Bills that they have been arguing about. It looks now in the next couple of days that resolutions were put through both the senate and the House Of Representatives to extend one of the deadlines until next friday, by which time they will pass Spending Bills on six separate departments.
