Senate advances funding measure with backing of 8 Democrats, moving a step closer to ending shutdown
CBS News' live-updates article reports that on 9 November 2025 the Senate voted 60 to 40 to advance a House-passed funding measure, with eight Democrats joining Republicans after 14 failed attempts — the first step in weeks toward ending the shutdown. The deal, led by Sens. King, Shaheen and Hassan with Thune and the White House, would extend funding through January 2026 and guarantee Democrats a December vote on ACA tax credits, though Schumer and Jeffries signaled House fights remain ahead.
