Members of Congress are still "working through the text" of a potential agreement, Murphy stated, as reported by Politico.
The lead negotiators took a brief Christmas break but held meetings on the matter as recently as Friday morning, Murphy was quoted as saying.
The US Congress adjourned for the winter holiday break without reaching a deal on border security and additional aid for Ukraine. Republican lawmakers have insisted on the inclusion of more stringent border security measures in the Biden administration’s $106 billion supplemental funding request, which includes more than $60 billion in aid for Ukraine.
Negotiators hope to have a deal to present to senators by the time they return on January 8, Murphy added.
