After the U.S. Senate passes a procedural vote, the end date for the shutdown remains uncertain.

ChainCatcher news, according to the traditional American political media The Hill, although the procedural vote on the "end government shutdown plan" has been passed by the US Senate, there are still more steps to be completed before the government can reopen. Any senator can delay the consideration of the plan for several days, in addition, the House of Representatives must reconvene and pass the agreement reached by the Senate before it can be sent to President Donald Trump for signature.

According to relevant information, after the procedural vote is passed, the Senate must amend three appropriations bills (legislative, military construction, and agriculture, including the SNAP program), and then send them back to the House of Representatives. Each amendment will trigger a 30-hour debate period, which may delay the process.

If the Democrats choose to extend these debates, the government may not reopen until Wednesday or Thursday, but if they move quickly, the "end government shutdown" process could be completed tonight and the US government could reopen as early as tomorrow night. The current filibuster rules may significantly impact the timeline.
