Trump Indicates Shutdown Deal is Near

A bipartisan deal has been reached to potentially end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, involving a commitment to hold a vote on Affordable Care Act tax credits expiring January 1. Senators Jeanne Shaheen, Maggie Hassan, and Angus King have crafted a plan for three annual spending bills and extended government funding until late January. President Trump indicated progress toward ending the shutdown, but Democrats remain cautious about conceding without health subsidy agreements. The Senate requires bipartisan support to pass the deal amid ongoing disruptions affecting federal services.
