The Senate passed a bill to fund the government and sent it to the House, which could vote as early as Wednesday to end the government shutdown.
The Senate on Monday is in session to continue working toward ending the federal government shutdown, which is now in its 41st day. Lawmakers in a rare Sunday session cleared a key hurdle toward potentially reopening the government by advancing a short-term funding bill by a razor-thin vote of 60-40, just meeting the threshold for it to pass.
Miniature American flags flutter in wind gusts across the National Mall near the Capitol in Washington, Monday, Nov. 10, 2025.Senate begins voting on funding bill to end government shutdownThe Senate has officially locked in a deal to complete its work on government funding Monday night. The Senate was scheduled to begin a series of eight votes at 5:30 p.m. The eighth and final vote in the series will be the vote to pass the government funding bill. It is expected to pass. Votes in the Senate can sometimes take a while unless senators are motivated to move quickly. It could take three hours to get through all eight votes.'A very bad night': Democrats face blowback from their own party over shutdown deal Democrats did not receive their one key demand in the shutdown battle: extending Affordable Care Act subsidies that are set to expire at the end of this year. Instead, the deal promises a vote on health care subsidies in the coming weeks -- something Senate Majority Leader John Thune had already offered as part of a deal over a month ago."This was a very, very bad vote," Sanders said, adding that the deal "raises health care premiums for over 20 million Americans" and "paves the way for 15 million people to be thrown off of Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act." Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., stands next to a poster during a news conference about SNAP benefits, Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2025, on Capitol Hill in Washington.-- in which Democrats across the country won by historic margins -- shows that "the American people want us to stand up to Trumpism, to his war against working-class people, to his authoritarianism. That is what the American people wanted. But tonight, that is not what happened." Sanders was not alone. Sen. Elizabeth Warren said the party "lost" the fight over health care. Sen. Chris Murphy"My fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence," Murphy wrote on X. Several key Democratic governors, some of whom are rumored to be considering a bid for the White House in 2028, are criticizing the deal. Minnesota Gov. Tim WalzSpeaker Johnson won't guarantee vote in House on ACA subsidies Speaker Mike Johnson, walking back to his office, again would not commit to holding a vote in the House on the Affordable Care Act subsidies -- something Senate GOP leaders agreed to do as part of a deal they cut with Democrats to reopen the government. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., makes a statement to reporters at the Capitol in Washington, Monday, Nov. 10, 2025. Johnson said there will be a "deliberative process" in the lower chamber to "find consensus" among lawmakers.Last week at a news conference, Johnson echoed a similar sentiment -- saying he would not make any promises on holding an ACA subsidies vote.
