After more than 40 days, an end to the longest government shutdown in history appears to be in sight.

On Nov. 9, the Senate voted 60-40 to advance a bipartisan deal that would fully reopen the government until Jan. 30.

Seven Democrats and one independent who caucuses with Democrats stepped across party lines to agree with congressional Republicans on the negotiated deal. However, the shutdown, which started on Oct. 1, isn't over yet.

The Senate – which needs to cast a final vote to pass the funding agreement – is set to reconvene on Monday, Nov. 10 at 11 a.m. ET. After that, the measure will need to make its way through the House and then be signed by President Donald Trump.

Here's the latest to know on the government shutdown as of Monday, Nov. 10.

Is the government still shut down?

As of morning on Monday, Nov. 10, the government is still shut down.

Although the Senate voted on Nov. 9 to advance a deal that would fully reopen the government, the measure still needs to pass several steps before the crisis comes to an official end.

A government shutdown ends when both chambers of Congress pass funding appropriations, which Trump then has to sign into law.

What needs to happen to end the government shutdown?

Though the Senate appears on track to approve a temporary funding measure that would reopen the government until Jan. 30, it still needs to vote to pass the agreement.

If the Senate passes the continuing resolution, the House will then have to vote on the deal. Once approved in Congress, Trump will have to sign the bill into law.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries indicated that House Democrats would not support the legislation. However, Republicans hold a narrow majority in the House. No House vote has been scheduled yet.

What to know about the deal to end the government shutdown

The temporary funding measure that advanced in the Senate on Nov. 9 would fully reopen the government through Jan. 30.

It includes reversals of federal layoffs, a promise to vote in the future on expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies and the allocation of more money into the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program through next September.

As part of the deal, Congress will also again fund other agencies and programs, including for veterans' benefits and military construction.

Democrats' main sticking point throughout the shutdown has been an extension on subsidies for the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, that are set to expire Dec. 31. Obamacare premiums are set to double without an extension.

In the latest deal, GOP lawmakers in Congress agreed to vote on the subsidies, likely in the second week of December.
