News: Senate Republicans are looking at waiting until Tuesday to do the second vote on House-passed CR, per two people

No final decision -- but would exert maximum pressure and also give a little more time (vs. Monday night) for a possible deal to shake loose

New w/ @nicholaswu12.bsky.social : If the White House thought its threat to fire federal workers during a government shutdown would spark a Democratic retreat, so far, it’s not happening.

They didn't talk to set up two CR votes. They spoke recently on noms but Thune quipped that Schumer was eager to get away from him.

While some of their staff are in constant contact about Senate business, some of their members want them to start talking on CR

NEW: With days to go until a shutdown, Thune and Schumer aren't talking

They've theoretically both opened the door but the one-time gym buddies aren't close

Biggest test could come post-Sept 30 (getting out of a shutdown or locking in a year-end deal)

The top Senate leaders aren’t talking. That’s a bad sign for a shutdown.
The relationship between Majority Leader John Thune and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who have known each other for decades, has grown tense.
