Senators reconvened over the weekend in a last-ditch effort to end the 39-day government shutdown, which has left workers unpaid and impacted millions of Americans.
Stark divisions remain between Democrats insisting on health care subsidy extensions and Republicans entertaining a deal to reopen the government without immediate subsidy guarantees.
Talks are driven by moderate Democrats and a small group of Republicans, yet the Senate remains in deadlock as key votes approach.
