Overview

  • The Senate approved the bill 60–40 after eight Democrats joined Republicans to advance it.
  • The House is set to take up the measure beginning Wednesday, with the bill heading to President Trump for signature if it clears the chamber.
  • The package orders reversal of recent federal furloughs and guarantees retroactive pay for affected workers.
  • The agreement leaves ACA subsidies unresolved, with GOP leaders offering only a future Senate vote and no House or White House commitment.
  • The 40-plus-day shutdown has left over one million federal employees unpaid and disrupted benefits and air travel, fueling Democratic backlash and calls for leadership changes.
