Direct answer: It appears there is ongoing activity related to a Senate vote or discussions about reopening the government, with reports indicating a shutdown at Day 36 or Day 37 and live coverage showing that a vote to end the shutdown has been scheduled or discussed, but outcomes have varied by day and are uncertain as of now. For real-time confirmation, please check a reliable live news source or official Senate schedules. Context and what to look for:

  • Look for the latest Senate session announcements and the official schedule on senate.gov or C-SPAN for any planned votes to reopen the government.
  • Watch for reported votes on any “minibus” or package bills intended to fund the government and address related policy issues.
  • Note statements from Senate leadership and the White House, as positions and rules (such as filibuster considerations) can change quickly and influence whether a vote occurs today or later.
