The Senate passed a bill to keep the government funded through early February early Monday afternoon, putting a swift end to a three-day shutdown that left hundreds of thousands of government employees without pay.

The bill keeps the government funded through Feb. 8 and provides a 6-years of funding for roughly 9 million children’s health insurance.

Some 81 senators voted in favor of the bill, with 18 Senate Democrats and 2 Republicans voting against the bill, including:

Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut
Cory Booker of New Jersey
Cortez Mastro of Nevada
Dianne Feinstein of California
Kirsten Gillibrand of New York
Kamala Harris of California
Mazie Hirono of Hawaii
Patrick Leahy of Vermont
Ed Markey of Massachusetts
Bob Menendez of New Jersey
Jeff Merkley of Oregon
Chris Murphy of Connecticut
Bernie Sanders of Vermont (Independent)
Jon Tester of Montana
Ron Wyden of Oregon
Mike Lee of Utah (Republican)
Rand Paul of Kentucky (Republican)

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell promised Democratic leadership that he will work on moving the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program negotiations through the chamber in the coming weeks.

Senate Democrats shut down the government over the weekend in order to try and squeeze DACA concessions out of GOP leadership.
