Nov. 8 (UPI) -- The U.S. Senate will remain in session until a deal is reached to end the government shutdown, which has reached a record 39 days, Majority Leader John Thune said Saturday.
The upper chamber was scheduled to be in recess around Veterans Day, which is Tuesday.
Instead, they convened after noon in a rare Saturday session, the fourth this year.
The last Sunday one was on Feb. 11, 2024, for a vote on emergency national security appropriations.
