A midnight Friday deadline is looming for the U.S. Senate to pass a federal funding bill to avert a government shutdown.

The advance vote: The Senate voted 62-38 to end debate on the bill – a cloture vote – and advance it to a final vote. Nine Democrats and one independent, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., voted in favor of cloture. That vote allowed the bill to pass with a simple majority in the final vote.

In an interview with Bill Maher, Shapiro, a Democrat who’s widely seen as a likely candidate for president in 2028, also weighed in on cuts at the Department of Education and Trump's tariffs.
