The Senate officially passed a bipartisan package Monday night to end the record-long government shutdown.
Why it matters: After 40 days, eight Democrats broke with their party in support of a bipartisan deal to reopen the government, fund key agencies, undo federal layoffs and hold a vote on extending ACA enhanced subsidies. • The final vote on Monday was 60 to 40, with seven Democrats and Independent Angus King (Maine) voting "yes" and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) voting "no." • Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has directed House members to return to Washington, and a vote on the package is expected as soon as Wednesday. Johnson told reporters Monday that he expects to have the votes he needs. • The White House supports the deal, meaning the government will officially reopen this week.
