Trump Says Government Shutdown Nearing End

On November 10th, local time November 9th evening, as the U.S. federal government "shutdown" has lasted 40 days, President Trump told the media, "It looks like we are getting closer and closer to ending the shutdown."
That evening, the U.S. Senate was expected to advance a vote on a bill passed by the House of Representatives, but the bill would be amended to bundle short-term funding measures (which could fund the federal government until January 2026) with three full-year appropriations bills.
It is reported that this bill has already gained enough support from Democratic senators to pass the vote. However, Senate Majority Leader and Republican John Thune stated that the amended funding plan still needs to be approved by the House of Representatives and signed by Trump, a process that could take several days.
