The Senate voted Monday evening to end the 41-day government shutdown, setting the stage for the House to reconvene later this week to pick up the legislation and send it to President Trump’s desk.
The Senate voted 60-40 to pass a bill to fund military construction, veterans’ affairs, the Department of Agriculture and the legislative branch through Sept. 30, 2026, and the rest of government through Jan. 30.
Eight members of the Democratic caucus voted for the deal, breaking with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and causing a huge rift within the party.
The Democrats voting yes were Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.), Maggie Hassan (N.H.), John Fetterman (Pa.), Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), Jacky Rosen (Nev.), Tim Kaine (Va.) and Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.).
