McConnell promises vote on ending shutdown by 1 a.m. Monday


"But I assure you," McConnell added, "we will have the vote at 1 a.m. Monday, unless there is a desire to have it sooner." The shutdown kicked in late Friday into Saturday after Senate Democrats blocked a 28-day resolution to keep the government open. The subsequent 50-49 vote broke largely along party lines, with five Republicans voting no, and five Democrats voting yes. McConnell said the shutdown was not a crisis, but rather a “manufactured crisis” by the Senate Democrats. The White House also buckled in, saying it would not negotiate on DACA until the government was funded.
