Multiple outlets reported that the White House is working with Senate Democrats to avoid a prolonged shutdown.
House leaders are aiming to expedite consideration of the Senate's deal to fund the government as a shutdown looms after midnight.
The Senate passed a deal on a package of spending bills late Friday, sending it to the House, though funding for dozens of government agencies has still lapsed.
The pressure now moves to the House, which is in recess, as the government enters at least a limited funding lapse.
A partial government shutdown is expected this weekend as Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., blocks the Senate's passage of Trump-backed funding package, calling it a "bad deal."
The Senate failed to advance legislation to fund major portions of the government as talks over reforming ICE continue.
