WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on Monday that he and his Republican counterpart, Mitch McConnell, have made strong progress toward reaching a deal to reopen the federal government and lift the U.S. debt ceiling, but there is still work ahead.

"We've made tremendous progress. We are not there yet," Reid said on the Senate floor. "We hope that with good fortune ... that perhaps tomorrow will be a bright day."
