Historic Agreement Reached on Government Shutdown in the US

Government Shutdown Lasting 40 Days Comes to an End

The 40-day government shutdown in the United States is coming to an end due to a compromise reached between Democrats and Republicans in the Senate. Throughout this process, the focus was on financial stability as well as the sustainability of public services alongside various political dynamics.

Critical Voting Process in the Senate

In a vote scheduled for Sunday evening local time, the passage of a temporary budget bill to fund the government until the end of January is expected. Some moderate Democratic senators in the Senate indicate that they will vote "yes" on the temporary budget. The support of key figures like Jeanne Shaheen, Maggie Hassan, and Angus King suggests that the passage of the legislation could be expedited.

Terms of Democrats and Compromise

Democratic senators have taken a step to facilitate the reopening of the government by stepping back from the condition of extending healthcare subsidies. Furthermore, it is expressed that after the temporary budget bill is approved in the Senate, it will be discussed in the House of Representatives, and if approved there, it will be sent to the White House. President Donald Trump stated that they have reached the end of the process, saying, “I think we are very close; we are very close to ending the government shutdown.”

Importance of the Temporary Budget and Expectations

Senate Majority Leader Republican John Thune announced that the compromise has been approved and called for an urgent vote on the approval of the temporary budget. The agreement in this process is seen as a critical step that will facilitate the resumption of public services, taking into account both the economic and social impacts of the government shutdown.
