Senate leaders say the legislation will nonetheless greatly increase the chances that the shutdown ends quickly, potentially within days. Trump publicly endorsed the deal and urged both parties to support it, signaling his desire to avoid a second shutdown of his second term, following a record 43-day stoppage last summer. And a weekend-long stoppage, with a quick resolution in the House on Monday, would have a negligible impact on federal operations. The broader funding fight has left both parties bracing for at least a brief shutdown. The remaining bills fund large swaths of the government, meaning funding for roughly 78 percent of federal operations is set to lapse.
