The Senate could vote as soon as Wednesday on a bill that would prevent a government shutdown, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said.
The legislation would fund the government into early December and provide money for hurricane relief and Afghan refugee resettlement, he said.
Congress has to pass a funding bill before midnight Thursday to avoid a shutdown.
Lawmakers will have to separately raise the U.S. debt ceiling before Oct. 18 to prevent a first-ever default.
