How Every Senator Voted on Passing the Bill to End the Shutdown

The Senate on Monday passed a bill to end the longest government shutdown in history after more than a month of stalemate. Seven Democrats and Senator Angus King, a Maine independent, joined almost every Republican in voting “yes.”

In voting for the bill, the Democrats broke with the rest of their party’s members, who have been insisting that any spending measure include the extension of expiring health insurance subsidies. The bill does not include any health care provisions, but Democrats did obtain some concessions, including the restoration of the jobs of federal workers who were laid off during the shutdown and guaranteed backpay for those who were furloughed.

The bill still needs to pass the House. Representatives are beginning to return to Washington after an extended recess, and a vote is not expected until Wednesday at the earliest.
