The Senate took its first step toward ending the government shutdown on Sunday, advancing compromise legislation to fund the government despite internal Democratic divisions.

A group of moderate Democrats and Independents agreed to proceed without a guaranteed extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies, angering many in their party.

The Senate voted 60-40 to move forward, with most Democrats, including leader Chuck Schumer, opposing the measure.

The deal funds the government through late January and promises a December vote on extending health care tax credits, while restoring jobs and back pay for federal workers, the AP has reported.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune backed the deal, and President Trump said it appeared the shutdown’s end was near.
