The Senate voted 81-18 to end a filibuster of a spending bill that would fund the government through February 8 and reauthorize the Children's Health Insurance Program for six years.
Before the government can reopen the Senate must vote on final passage, the House must approve in turn, and President Donald Trump must sign the measure.
Democrats climbed onboard after two days of negotiations that ended with new assurances from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that the Senate would consider immigration proposals in the coming weeks. The House later passed the 17-day extension by a 266-150 vote. The White House and GOP leaders said they would not negotiate with Democrats on immigration until the government is reopened.
Senator Tim Kaine summed up the view of the more optimistic Democrats: "We got a commitment that I feel very, very good about".
The government shutdown will extend into the workweek as the Senate appeared to inch closer to ending a partisan stalemate late Sunday but fell short of agreement.
Graham - once a strident opponent of Trump's who has developed a cozy relationship with the president over the past few months - said over the weekend that he is skeptical of numerous president's advisers, especially White House senior policy aide Stephen Miller, who push Trump in a conservative direction on immigration as soon as he seems to want a compromise.
Democratic and independent senators who relented in the standoff said they did not necessarily trust McConnell, but had faith that the bipartisan negotiators, including Sens. Shockingly, he blames the Democrats and brags about his cosmically unpopular tax cuts. "It is a good solution, and I will vote for it", said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. And she insisted that the president has been clear about what he wants in an immigration bill, despite shifting positions over the past week that even GOP leaders have complained about.
Trump said previous year he would end DACA on March 5 and asked Congress to come up with a legislative fix before then to prevent Dreamers from being deported.

"Importantly, when I proceed to the immigration debate, it will have an amendment process that is fair to all sides", he said.
Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., who faces a potentially competitive re-election this fall, sounded optimistic about the agreement. The Democrats seemed sensitive to being seen by voters as willing to tie up government operations to protect immigrants in the US illegally. Lindsey Graham, who has been trying to broker an immigration deal, and Kentucky Sen.
Trump has generally kept a low profile during the shutdown. In return, McConnell agreed to resume negotiations over the future of the dreamers, border security, military spending and other budget debates. Eighteen senators, including members of both parties, were opposed.
There were hours of behind-the-scenes talks over the weekend between the leaders and rank-and-file lawmakers over how to end the display of legislative dysfunction, which began at midnight Friday after Democrats blocked a temporary spending measure. "The great deal-making president sat on the sidelines", Schumer said. We were watching as everything unfolded once we left our offices on Friday, so here's a chance to get caught up on everything that happened over the weekend. They include Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris of California, Sen.
Last year, Trump ordered an end by March to protections provided to the estimated 700,000 Dreamers under the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, program, an executive order put in place by former Democratic President Barack Obama.
At the same time, Democrats must bear in mind a CNN poll showing that, while there is overwhelming support for helping DACA recipients, 56% of Americans say it's not worth shutting the government down to do so.
Democrats are facing intense pressure from their base to solve the issue over the young immigrants, commonly referred to as "Dreamers", and they are skeptical of Republicans' credibility when offering to take up the issue.
