Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. Senate have reached a tentative deal on an election-year economic stimulus plan, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus said on Thursday."I think there will be an agreement to add the 20 million seniors and the disabled vets" to the bill already passed by the House of Representatives that would give rebate checks to millions of Americans, Baucus told reporters.

Baucus said the Senate could vote as early as Thursday on the package.
