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 moderate Democrats agree to a deal with Republicans to reopen the government.
The measure funds most of the government through the end of January and includes three full-year funding bills.
Speaking at the White House earlier Monday, President Trump indicated he would back the Senate deal.
The eight centrist and retiring Democrats joined Republicans on Sunday night in approving a plan to fund the government through January because it included a promise from Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) to hold a vote on ObamaCare subsidies before the year ends. Thune plans to amend the House-passed legislative vehicle with the deal.
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.
