Government shutdown narrowly avoided after Republicans, Democrats make funding deal

The U.S. government narrowly avoided a shutdown after Republicans and Democrats managed to agree on a funding deal. The deal was agreed in the Senate, helping to prevent unnecessary hardship to federal employees, who would have faced furlough or working without pay had a shutdown occurred.

The shutdown was looming due to disagreements on federal budgetary issues. However, the bipartisan deal was reached in time to avoid disrupting government operations, bringing a sigh of relief to those who would have been affected.
