On November 9, the U.S. Senate reached a bipartisan agreement to extend government funding until January 30, 2026, and to schedule a vote in December on a subsidy bill under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), CNN reported.
According to CNN, the vote was arranged after a key group of at least eight moderate Democratic senators reached an agreement with Republican leaders in the Senate and the White House to reopen the government in exchange for a vote on extending the Affordable Care health program.
Once approved by the Senate, the bill will be sent to the House of Representatives, which is also controlled by the Republican Party, for a vote, and then to President Trump’s desk for his signature. The process may take several days.
The agreement includes reversing the dismissals of federal employees made by President Donald Trump’s administration and adding provisions to prevent similar actions in the future, the source said.
In addition, the deal ensures that the food stamp program will be funded through the end of fiscal year 2026.
