Senate Democrats Split on Shutdown Deal Without ACA Subsidy Extension

The U.S. Senate has advanced legislation to end the government shutdown after eight Democratic senators broke with their party to vote alongside Republicans. The bill, which provides funding through January and includes three full-year appropriations, does not address the expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies that were a key Democratic priority. The legislation has faced criticism from House Democrats, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who characterized it as yielding to Republican demands.
