A procedural measure that allows other votes on the agreemen

A procedural measure that allows other votes on the agreement to be held on Monday was approved by a minimum of 60 yes votes, after eight senators in the Democratic caucus broke with party leadership to support the deal.

The deal being would reopen the government into January and reverse some of the recent mass federal layoffs. It also includes future protections for government workers. The agreement does not include an extension of ACA credits, a key sticking point for most Democrats, but it would call for a vote on the subsidies in December.

A final vote in the Senate on the funding bill will need to be held, followed by passage by the House.
