Originally Published 2 months ago — by CBS News
The U.S. Senate is set to vote on a House-passed measure to end the 38-day government shutdown, with a new Republican strategy aiming to include long-term appropriations and extend funding beyond November 21, though support from Democrats remains uncertain amid ongoing negotiations and election impacts. Meanwhile, discussions about changing Senate filibuster rules to facilitate government funding are also underway but unlikely to be adopted.
