Government shutdown updates: Senate to vote on funding bill

The Senate on Monday locked down a deal for a vote on the government funding bill to end the government shutdown, which is now in its 41st day.

Lawmakers in a rare Sunday session cleared a key hurdle toward potentially reopening the government by advancing a short-term funding bill by a razor-thin vote of 60-40, just meeting the threshold for it to pass.

If the bill passes the Senate, it would then go to the House, where Speaker Mike Johnson said it could get a vote as early as Wednesday.
