Senate readies vote on a funding bill to extend operations until January 2026, amid signs the prolonged shutdown could soon be resolved.
On November 9, President Donald Trump indicated the U.S. is closer to ending its 40-day government shutdown. The Senate is preparing to vote on a revised funding bill that would extend federal government funding through January 2026. The bill reportedly has sufficient Democratic support but must still pass the House of Representatives and receive Trump’s signature to take effect.
