Overview
- In a 60–40 vote, most Republicans joined by eight Democrats and one independent advanced a short-term funding bill to keep the government running through the end of January.
- House leaders signaled a quick vote as early as Wednesday on the Senate package, which would then go to President Donald Trump for signature.
- The measure would reinstate furloughed federal workers, guarantee back pay, resume programs such as SNAP, and roll back recent dismissals tied to the shutdown.
- The deal defers the central dispute over Affordable Care Act subsidies to a separate December vote with no assurance of renewal, prompting sharp dissent within Democratic ranks.
- The shutdown, in effect since October 1, has halted pay for hundreds of thousands, suspended food assistance for roughly 42 million people, and disrupted thousands of flights, intensifying pressure to restore funding.
