With fiscal negotiations between House Republicans and the Obama administration crumbling on Saturday, all eyes turned to the Senate just days before the United States faces the possibility of a devastating financial default on Thursday. Key senators from both parties will take to the political talk shows on Sunday to discuss the prospects for a deal.

NBC’s “Meet the Press” will feature Senators Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat, and Rob Portman, Republican of Ohio. Plus, Leon E. Panetta â€" the former defense secretary who was also President Bill Clinton’s chief of staff during the last government shutdown â€" will talk about how the shutdown is affecting those in the military.

Senators Joe Manchin III, Democrat of West Virginia, and Bob Corker, Republican of Tennessee, will be on “Fox News Sunday.” Mr. Manchin has been working on a bill with a Republican colleague to raise the debt ceiling for a few months and fund the government through the end of March. Also on the program will be Representative Jim Jordan, Republican of Ohio, who is resolute about defunding the president’s health care law as part of a budget agreement.

Senator Rand Paul, Republican of Kentucky, is scheduled to be on CNN’s “State of the Union,” along with Senator Susan Collins, the Maine Republican who has been working on a proposal with Mr. Manchin, and Senator Amy Klobuchar, the Minnesota Democrat who is the Senate chairwoman of the Joint Economic Committee of Congress.

On CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Senators John McCain, Republican of Arizona; Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York; and Kelly Ayotte, Republican of New Hampshire, will weigh in on the gridlock in Congress. Also on the show: Representative Tim Huelskamp, Republican of Kansas.
