US EditionHow Each Senator Voted on Step to End Government Shutdown | News Channel 3-12
The Senate voted 60-40 to temporarily fund the government through Jan. 30, linking future subsidy votes to reinstating furloughed federal workers, aiming to end the longest shutdown.
- Sunday night, the United States Senate advanced legislation to end the shutdown with a bipartisan 60-40 vote, a key step toward reopening federal funding.
- The shutdown followed the September 30 vote when Congress failed to pass full funding bills, prompting agencies to close or scale back operations until Congress acts.

- The federal government shutdown is now the longest in U.S. history, with hundreds of thousands of federal workers furloughed and SNAP benefits halted starting Nov. 1.

Democratic senators – eight in total – faced almost immediately a strong reaction from members of their own party by voting in favour of allowing the Senate to move forward with the compromise legislation that would reopen the government.
