The U.S. Senate passed a bill with a 60-40 vote to conclude the 41-day government shutdown, the longest in American history. The legislation funds federal operations until January 30, 2026, and guarantees back pay for affected workers, including air traffic controllers.
President TRUMP endorsed the measure, while House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed confidence in securing sufficient votes for House approval. Flight cancellations surged earlier this week due to staffing shortages exacerbated by the shutdown.
The House could finalize the bill as early as Wednesday, marking a pivotal resolution to the fiscal standoff.
