On Sunday, US President Donald Trump said "it looks like we're getting very close" to ending the government shutdown, now in its 40th day—the longest in US history.
The Senate voted late Sunday to advance a bill that pairs a short-term funding measure with three full-year appropriation bills.
If the House approves the proposal, it will return to the president’s desk for signature, taking the nation a step closer to ending the shutdown.
