The Senate on Monday passed the bill to end the government shutdown, sending it to the House.
Final passage came after a series of procedural votes. Those, in turn, followed a weekend breakthrough that saw eight centrist and retiring Democrats join Republicans on Sunday night in approving a plan to reopen the government.
The deal would fund most of the government through the end of January and includes three full-year funding bills. It also includes a promise from Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) to hold a vote on ObamaCare subsidies before the year ends.
The compromise — reached over a weekend that included a legal battle over funding food assistance and increasing airport turmoil with Federal Aviation Administration flight cuts — includes language to retain more than 4,000 federal workers targeted for layoffs during the shutdown as well as language to prevent the Trump administration from laying off more federal workers until Jan. 30, 2026.
Speaking at the White House earlier Monday, President Trump indicated he would back the Senate deal.
