On Sunday, eight senators who caucus with the Democratic Party, including Senators John Fetterman, D-Pennsylvania, and Tim Kaine, D-Virginia, joined with 52 Republican senators to advance a deal that would end the ongoing federal shutdown. Monday night, the same group of 60 senators voted to pass the deal and send the bill authorizing federal spending to the House.

The over 40 day shutdown has caused over 1 million federal workers to go without pay, led to cancellations of flights around the country, and contributed to the Trump administration throwing the distribution of SNAP benefits this month into question.

Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville posted earlier on Monday that “the American people have suffered long enough” and he was “glad the Schumer Shutdown is finally coming to an end.”
