What to know about the partial government shutdown
The House is holding a key procedural vote on a massive funding package to end the partial government shutdown , with Republicans hoping to remain united to move forward with the plan.
The vote on the rule governing debate on the package is the final hurdle Republican leaders must clear before a vote on passage. Democrats were expected to oppose the rule, but several dozen might ultimately vote to approve the package.
The legislation includes five full-year spending bills and a two-week extension of funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Democrats are demanding reforms to how immigration enforcement agencies like ICE conduct their operations, an issue that will become the focus on Capitol Hill once the current funding fight is over.
You can watch the proceedings on the House floor in the player above, and follow live updates below. If the rule is approved, a vote on final passage is scheduled for 1 p.m.
