The US Senate took the first step to end the government shutdown on Sunday, after a group of moderate Democrats agreed to proceed without a guaranteed extension of health care subsidies.
This angered many in their caucus who say Americans want them to continue the fight.
in a test vote that is the first in a series of required procedural manoeuvres, the Senate voted 60-40 to move toward passing compromise legislation to fund the government and hold a later vote on extending Affordable Care Act tax credits that expire January 1.
Final passage could be several days away if Democrats object and delay the process.
The agreement does not guarantee the Affordable Care Act subsidies will be extended, as Democrats have demanded for almost six weeks.
Eight Democrats voted for the package.
