The Senate is working to avoid a partial government shutdown with just hours to spare.

A procedural vote Friday will provide a first test of whether the bill has the 60 votes needed to advance.

At least eight Democrats will need to join with Republicans to move the funding package forward.

Congress has been unable to pass the annual appropriations bills designed to fund the government.

Sen. Bernie Sanders , I-Vt. Sen. Tom Cotton , R-Ark., said the Democratic arguments were hypocritical because they were essentially calling for shutting down the government.

“They can’t be serious. They are fighting to withhold the paychecks of air traffic controllers, our troops, federal custodial staff,” Cotton said.
