Towards a bipartisan agreement in the Senate to end the federal government shutdown

US shutdown — After more than a month of federal government paralysis, a possible way out is in sight in the US Senate. According to several sources reporting to Axios, a group of Democratic senators has said it is ready to support a package of bills that could end the Trump administration’s longest political stalemate.

At least ten Democratic senators are reportedly willing to vote in favour of the procedural motion needed to move the spending package forward and secure temporary funding for the government. According to the same sources, this would be the most concrete step towards a bipartisan compromise since the closure of federal offices, which has now been ongoing for weeks.

A compromise on the table

The agreement, which is still being finalised, would also include a commitment to vote in December on extending tax credits linked to Obamacare, one of the Democratic Party’s priorities. This is a sign of openness that could convince even some moderate Republicans to break the deadlock and support the measure.

Growing pressure in Washington

As the US shutdown drags on, pressure is mounting on the administration and Congress, with federal employees going without pay and public services reduced. An agreement on temporary funding could allow the government to resume operations while a more lasting solution to the budget disputes is negotiated.

The atmosphere on Capitol Hill remains tense, but the Democrats’ move in the Senate suggests that the US shutdown may finally be coming to an end.
