House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says her Democratic caucus is willing to meet Republicans halfway on the spending level of a short-term budget bill to keep the government funded past Monday.

House Republicans have capped federal spending in their budget bill at an annual rate of $986 billion, a figure that includes the sequestration funding cuts that were the result of an earlier bipartisan deal. Democrats have pushed to restore that funding, which would increase overall spending to $1.057 trillion.
