The Senate will convene Monday after it voted Sunday night to advance a proposal that could reopen the federal government.
Eight centrist and retiring Democrats joined Republicans in approving a plan to fund the government through January because it included a promise from Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) to hold a vote on ObamaCare subsidies before the year ends. Thune plans to amend the House-passed legislative vehicle with the deal.
The compromise — reached over a weekend that included a legal battle over funding food assistance and increasing airport turmoil with Federal Aviation Administration flight cuts — includes language to retain more than 4,000 federal workers targeted for layoffs during the shutdown as well as language to prevent the Trump administration from laying off more federal workers until Jan. 30, 2026

At the White House, President Trump on Monday will host Ahmad Al-Sharaa, the first Syrian president to visit 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
