The Senate has approved the reopening of the U.S. government following a split among Democrats
The funding package has made it possible to unblock the longest 41-day government shutdown in the country's history, with the support of eight Democratic senators, causing a severe internal crisis in the party.
The United States Senate has approved a package of measures to finance part of the federal administration and end the government shutdown, which has lasted for almost six weeks. The vote has progressed thanks to the supportof eight Democratic senators .
The agreement will make it possible to finance the activities of the Department of Defense, veterans' projects and the legislature until September 2026, and will also ensure the return of more than 4,000 federal workers made redundant during the closure.
On the other hand, veteran Senator Bernie Sanders called the decision "very bad," and said it "will make health insurance premiums more expensive for millions of Americans."
Congressman Ro Khanna has called for the resignation of Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer because he "is not up to the task." However, House Democrats leader Hakeem Jeffries has come out in his defense and declared that Schumer "has fought bravely for seven weeks."
One of the senators who supported the Jeanne Shaheen deal has defended his vote on the grounds that maintaining the shutdown "led nowhere , "and has directly blamed former President Donald Trump for the situation. Yet they have criticized his position, even within the family: Stefany Shaheen's daughter, the Democratic candidate for Congress, has said she cannot support a pact that does not extend subsidies for medical insurance premiums.
The proposal, which replaces the original text adopted by the House of Representatives, must now be ratified by this body. The vote is expected to take place in the next few days, which would put an end to a blockade which has left essential social programmes unfounded and which has caused major economic disruptions throughout the country.
