Senate Republicans and Democrats have reached a deal to fund the government and end the shutdown, according to multiple reports.
Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.) celebrated the agreement in a post on X, stating, “This deal guarantees a vote to extend Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, which Republicans weren’t willing to do.” He also highlighted that the legislation “will protect federal workers from baseless firings, reinstate those who have been wrongfully terminated during the shutdown, and ensure federal workers receive back pay, as required by a law I got passed in 2019.”
Sources told Politico and Fox News that enough Senate Democrats have agreed to the deal to reach the 60 votes needed in the upper chamber.
The government has been shut down for 40 days since October 1, marking the longest shutdown in U.S. history.
The Senate is expected to vote on the funding bill Sunday evening.
