The United States Senate has passed a bipartisan bill to end the longest government shutdown in American history, sending it to the House of Representatives for final approval.

The legislation, which funds federal operations through January, passed late Monday by a 60–40 vote, with support from nearly all Republicans and a group of moderate Democrats.

President Donald Trump has signaled his support for the deal, which was negotiated over six weeks following the shutdown’s onset on October 1. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has urged members to return to Washington for a vote, expected to begin by Wednesday afternoon.

The agreement includes provisions to reverse all shutdown-related layoffs, guarantee back pay for furloughed federal workers, and fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) through September. It also outlines a bipartisan budget process and restricts the White House’s use of continuing resolutions (CRs), which have long been criticized for sidestepping long-term fiscal planning.

A key point of contention remains the fate of enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, which are set to expire at the end of December. Senate Democrats had initially withheld support for reopening the government without assurances that the subsidies would be extended. The current deal includes a commitment to hold a separate vote on the issue in December, though Speaker Johnson has yet to publicly endorse that provision.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) expressed frustration over the lack of guarantees for the ACA subsidies, warning that millions of Americans could face steep increases in health insurance costs if the credits are not renewed.

The shutdown has disrupted federal services, strained food banks, and triggered widespread furloughs. Under a 2019 law, all affected federal employees must be compensated for lost wages “at the earliest date possible,” regardless of scheduled pay periods.

If the House passes the bill and President Trump signs it into law, the shutdown will officially end, restoring full government operations and averting further economic fallout.
