"It depends what deal we're talking about."
"But if it's the deal I heard about...I would say so,"
"I think based on everything I'm hearing they haven't changed anything, and we have support from enough Democrats, and we're going to be opening up our country. It's too bad it was closed, but we're going to be opening up our country very quickly."
The Senate approved the bill by a 60-40 vote late Monday, but the shutdown will not end immediately because the House must first pass the legislation; the House is expected to vote as early as Wednesday. The bill provides three years of funding for specific parts of government, reverses more than 4,000 federal layoffs proposed at the shutdown's start, and allocates funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program through September 2026. The bill does not extend Affordable Care Act premium subsidies, which are set to expire later this year. Seven Democrats and Sen. Angus King joined Republicans to pass the measure, and Sen. Rand Paul was the only Republican to vote against it. President Trump said his support depends on details and indicated a deal he heard about would open the country quickly.
