A deal is reportedly “within reach” to end the 40-day long government shutdown — according to a new report from Axios.

The Axios report — citing sources from both parties — said that Senate Democrats are prepared to advance a package of bills to bring an end to the standoff. The procedural motion which would set up votes on these bills is expected to be supported by at least 10 Senate Democrats, per Axios — which adds that the deal would include a vote on extending Obamacare tax credits in December.

The ramifications of the shutdown have begun to ramp up in recent days. The disruption to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has impacted 42 million Americans who receive SNAP benefits. And airport delays have begun to pile up — as there is a shortage of air traffic controllers due to the fact they have not been paid.

This story is developing.
