Senate reportedly strikes deal to reopen federal government

Lawmakers in the U.S. Senate might vote to reopen the federal government on Sunday night, which would end the longest shutdown of the federal government in history.

The deal is reportedly three bills to fund the government through Jan. 30, a mini funding bill that reverses the reduction-in-force notices, and fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program through next September, a PBS reporter posted on X.

There are 53 Republicans in the Senate, but 60 votes are required to pass a funding bill. Between eight and 10 Senate Democrats are reportedly willing to reopen the federal government, a CNN reporter posted on X.
