WASHINGTON (KTIV) -

With just hours to avoid Fiscal Cliff, South Dakota Senator John Thune says he's frustrated at how long it's taking to come to a deal.

The Republican told The Associated Press last night that "every day, we get closer."

He says that it's difficult for Democrats and Republicans to reach a compromise because the parties are deeply divided in how to approach financial issues.

However, Thune says he's hopeful for a vote Monday.
