It appears that the Senate is poised to quash a government shutdown threat from Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in spite of presidential candidate Donald Trump lending his support to his former primary opponent's cause.

The Democrats still have to sign on, but the measure is expected to pass the chamber on Monday.
