WASHINGTON (AP) ? U.S. Senate leaders are ending their standoff over President Barack Obama's judicial nominations and are moving ahead on a small-business bill.
The Senate was on the brink of 17 grueling votes in a row Wednesday on filling vacant judgeships.
But then Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell announced a deal to act on some of the U.S. district court nominations at issue.
The leaders also said lawmakers will return to debate a small-business bill that both parties favor in this presidential and congressional election year.
Voters for months have told pollsters that they loathe partisan standoffs after a year dominated by showdowns on economic matters.
