- The Senate reached the 60‑vote threshold to proceed, with nearly all Republicans plus seven Democrats and one independent, highlighting a split in the Democratic caucus.
- The proposal would finance federal operations through late January, guarantee back pay, reverse shutdown‑era firings, and maintain funding for SNAP.
- The compromise does not secure an extension of Affordable Care Act premium subsidies, with Republicans offering only a December vote on the issue.
- Final Senate approval, House passage under a Republican majority, and White House sign‑off are still required before services fully resume.
- Service disruptions persist during the wait for final action, including widespread flight cancellations, and outlets report shutdown‑related delays to some U.S. weapons exports affecting NATO partners and Ukraine.
