WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) — The U.S. Senate on Sunday evening approved a bipartisan package of spending bills aimed at ending the longest government shutdown, which has entered its 40th day and caused a series of growing disruptions to government operations.
The upper chamber voted 60-40 in a key procedural vote to pass a spending package that will fund most federal agencies at current levels through January 30, as well as the Agriculture Department, Veterans Affairs and Pentagon construction projects, and congressional activities for the entire fiscal year.
The package will provide full-year funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which was jeopardized by the extended government shutdown.
As part of the Democrats' deal to end the shutdown, Senate Majority Leader John Thune promised Democratic senators a vote "no later than the second week of December" to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies that are set to expire at the end of the year.
While both sides were making progress, nearly 3,000 flights were canceled and more than 10,000 were delayed across the country on Sunday, highlighting the growing impact of the shutdown on everyday American life.
