Eight Senate Democrats broke with their party leaders to vote in favor of a House-passed continuing resolution Sunday night, taking a major step toward ending the government shutdown.

The House bill funds military construction, the Department of Agriculture and the legislative branch through September 30, 2026, and the rest of the government through Jan. 30. The final tally for the Senate vote was 60-40, the minimum threshold for passing such a bill.

SENATE COULD TAKE TEST VOTE ON NEW SPENDING BILL AS EARLY AS SUNDAY AFTERNOON

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., has proven to be one of the Democrats most willing to stand against his party since joining the Senate in 2023.

While Fetterman stayed in line with Democratic leadership throughout the shutdown, he had argued for weeks that the party didn't have the leverage to force Republicans to make changes.

"After 40 days as a consistent voice against shutting our government down, I voted YES for the 15th time to REOPEN. I’m sorry to our military, SNAP recipients, gov workers, and Capitol Police who haven’t been paid in weeks. It should’ve never come to this," Fetterman said in a statement.

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., consistently voted with Republicans to reopen the government throughout the 40-day shutdown.
