Senate lawmakers facing shutdown deadline
(KYMA, KECY/ CNN) - Lawmakers have until midnight Friday to finalize a stopgap measure or funding will run out as a government shutdown is looming.
So far, congressional leaders have not been able to secure a deal, though they are hopeful one will be made before the deadline.
Democrats and Republicans disagree over how long a funding extension should last.
Senate conservatives are also holding up a deal by demanding a vote to defund the vaccine mandate.
