The Senate moved to pass a deal to end the shutdown, with at least eight Democrats joining Republicans to clear 60 votes and fund government through January. Negotiated by Majority Leader John Thune with the White House and Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, Maggie Hassan and Angus King, the agreement guarantees a December vote on extending ACA tax credits but omits the extension itself. It would reverse permanent layoffs, pay federal workers, and fund SNAP through September, but still needs House approval and the president’s signature. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer opposed, while Sen. Tim Kaine said he will support it.
