U.S. Senate Democrats were wrestling on Wednesday with how to respond to a stopgap funding bill passed by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, choosing between voting for a bill many of them oppose or allowing a government shutdown.

The Senate will vote this morning on the stopgap funding bill to avoid a government shutdown. A bill D.C. leaders said means a $1 billion cut to the District’s budget.

Now, the bill heads to the Senate, where it needs 60 votes to pass to keep the federal government from a shutdown.
