U.S. Senate Passes Deal to Reopen the Government

Washington, D.C. — In a late-night session, the U.S. Senate approved a bipartisan deal to reopen the federal government after days of partial shutdown. The agreement, which passed with broad support from both parties, now heads to the House of Representatives for final approval before being sent to the President’s desk.

The deal includes temporary funding to keep federal agencies operating and a commitment from lawmakers to continue negotiations over longer-term budget and border security issues.

Senate Majority Leader emphasized the importance of compromise, saying the measure “puts government employees back to work and ensures critical services continue for the American people.”

Federal workers, many of whom faced furloughs or delayed pay, could see operations resume within days once the bill is signed into law.
