Senators were shuttling in and out of offices Saturday, but there were no breakthroughs in the effort to reopen the federal government.

When Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell came to the floor late Saturday to announce plans to have the chamber back in session starting Sunday afternoon, he made clear that, at his first opportunity, he would try to hold a vote to break a filibuster of a proposal to fund the government through Feb. 8.

“I asked for consent to move up a vote on this bipartisan solution and end this craziness today. The Democrats objected. That won’t work forever. If they continue to object, we cannot proceed to a cloture vote until 1 a.m. on Monday,” the Kentucky Republican said. “But I assure you, we will have the vote at 1 a.m. on Monday, unless there is a desire to have it sooner.”

The Senate will formally reconvene at 1 p.m. Sunday.

McConnell made his remarks in a mostly empty chamber, on a day when there was little to see aside from a steady stream of floor speeches, with each side blaming the other (or President Donald Trump) for the current funding lapse.
