United States President Donald Trump told reporters that it seems like the government shutdown is “getting close” to ending, following reports that said there are now enough Senate Democrats in favor of a deal. “It looks like we’re getting close to the shutdown ending. You’ll know very soon,” Trump said upon arriving back at the White House after attending the NFL game between the Washington Commanders and Detroit Lions. Earlier on Sunday, citing unnamed Senate sources, ABC News reported that there will be sufficient Democratic votes to advance a short-term funding bill to reopen the US government. If the bill clears the Senate, it will have to head to the House for approval before reaching Trump’s desk. The Senate is expected to vote on the deal beginning between 8:30 pm and 9 pm ET, CNN said, citing an unnamed GOP aide.
