Both Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid and Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell expressed optimism about a bipartisan agreement after a round of budget talks Monday, according to the report.
“We hope that with good fortune … that perhaps tomorrow will be a bright day,” Reid said, according to the Tribune.
The Tribune reports the Senate proposal would extend government funding through mid-January and the U.S.’ borrowing authority at least through mid-February.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va) told reporters Monday that Republicans will hold a closed-door session Tuesday “to discuss a way forward,” the report said.
