The longest U.S. government shutdown is expected to end, with the Senate possibly voting on a stopgap funding measure as early as the 10th.

November 10th: After the announcement of a possible agreement to end the government shutdown by Senate Majority Leader Thune, the Senate Appropriations Committee promptly released three bills with the aim of ending the shutdown. The currently disclosed process shows the following: The Senate is anticipated to first vote on advancing the temporary funding resolution passed by the House of Representatives (which had previously failed to advance in the Senate 14 times). Subsequently, amendments will be made to incorporate full-year appropriations and a longer extension plan for government funding. The plan also includes an agreement to vote on the healthcare policy desired by the Democratic Party on a specific date. The Senate is expected to vote on the temporary funding measure as early as the morning of the 10th in Beijing time. This measure requires 60 votes to advance, and the Republicans currently hold 53 seats in the Senate. Senate Democrats are scheduled to hold a core member meeting at 6 a.m. on the 10th in Beijing time to discuss proposals related to ending the government "shutdown." The outcome of the meeting is expected to directly affect whether the U.S. government shutdown will come to an end. According to ABC reports, the short-term funding bill is expected to have sufficient support from Democratic senators. (Golden Finance)
