Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he's "optimistic" that he and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell will be able to reach a budget agreement this week.
"Constructive, good faith negotiations continue between the Republican leader and me," Reid said on the Senate floor. "I'm very optimistic that we will reach an agreement that's reasonable in nature this week to reopen the government, pay the nation's bills and begin long term negotiations to put our country on sound fiscal footing."
McConnell was also upbeat.
"I share his optimism that we're going to get a result that will be acceptable to both sides," McConnell said.
