WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Senate has ended a short legislative day on Saturday and will hold its next legislative session on Thursday, as negotiators continued to search for a way to end the partial government shutdown that began just after midnight.

Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell said the Senate would meet in a β€œpro forma” session on Monday. Those sessions can last for just minutes before adjourning. As McConnell was closing the Senate, Vice President Mike Pence told reporters that negotiators were β€œstill talking.”
