This is cobbled together from speaking to multiple sources on both sides of the Capitol.
The House is now aiming to vote Thursday on the "clean" interim spending bill which would fund the government through November 27.
But Republicans must first get the bill through the House. Several senior House Republican sources said that they were still talking to the "usual suspects." Republicans can only lose two votes to pass a bill on their own. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) expressed confidence he could hold all of his Democrats together and oppose the bill.
Jeffries said that will be the focus of a Democratic Caucus on Thursday.
It is also still not a done deal that the House would move on Thursday. This could slip to Friday.
There is now the distinct possibility of a weekend session in the Senate, potentially Saturday.
