While Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman and Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer have said they will vote with Republicans to avoid a shutdown, several local Democrats say they're a "no" on the bill.

The Senate finds itself in a familiar position, working to avoid a partial government shutdown with just hours to spare.

Chuck Schumer, the top Democrat in the Senate, said he would vote to end the filibuster, indicating sufficient support among other party members to allow vote on Republican bill.

Some Senate Democrats, including Sen. Patty Murray of Washington state, have alternatively pushed for a four-week stopgap spending bill that would prevent a shutdown and keep the government funded while giving lawmakers time to negotiate a bipartisan agreement. Schumer said Republicans rejected the offer.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has said Democrats will stand in the way of efforts to pass a Republican-led budget patch that passed the House earlier this week with almost no bipartisan support.

The measure had a pathway for passage following the cloture vote on the bill, which passed on a near-partisan basis in the House but requires 3/5 approval in the Senate.
