President Donald Trump late Wednesday night signed a funding bill that will end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

The House passed the bill by a 222-209 margin earlier in the evening. The Senate passed the bill on Monday.

The legislation will fund the government through Jan. 30 and provide funding for some government agencies for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Day 41: What to expect in the Senate

It was a key turning point on Capitol Hill on Sunday night, with eight members of the Democratic caucus joining with nearly every Senate Republican to advance a bill that could finally end the federal government shutdown.

But, there are still some additional steps that the Senate needs to take before they formally pass this bill and send it over to the House, and the key question now is how long those steps take. The Senate floor opens at 11 a.m.

Senators will be trying to move the funding bill quickly, but it takes unanimous approval of all 100 senators to do so. If there is an objection from even one senator, it would be enough to slow the process. Without unanimous consent, it could take the Senate hours or even days to finish working on this bill.
