U.S. senators could be making headway to reopen the U.S. government, ending the longest shutdown in American history.
Eight Democratic senators are expected to join Republicans in a vote to extend government funding through Jan. 30, CNN reported on Monday.
GOP Senate leaders are trying to push for the chamber to vote on the bill before the end of the day on Monday. If passed, the bill will have to go back to the House before hitting the president’s desk.
Part of the deal that Democrats joined would be to fund the USDA and the FDA for the full fiscal year, while other agencies would only be funded until Feb. 1, Politico reported.
The USDA will release the latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report on Friday, whether the government reopens or not. Even if the government reopened by Friday, it could take a number of weeks before grain and livestock markets receive and digest all the delayed data.
