U.S. Government Shutdown Looms Over Key Vote – Updates and Timeline

Progress towards ending the government shutdown continues as Senate Democrats joined Republicans in supporting crucial funding legislation last night. This marks a significant step forward, with Democrats securing their key demand for separate ACA subsidy debate votes. The bill is now expected to pass the Senate soon. However, the speed of its progress depends on whether senators can agree on a timeframe for further debate before a final vote. Delays are possible, potentially extending the shutdown’s impact.
