Eight Democratic and Independent senators on Monday night voted with all but one of their Republican colleagues to pass a continuing resolution that could end the month-long government shutdown.

The resolution, which passed in a 60-40 split, will now go back to the House because there were enough changes that need approval from the lower chamber. If the House passes the resolution, it will still need President Donald Trump's signature. 

Here are the eight Democratic and Independent senators who voted to end the government shutdown: 

Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin

Independent Maine Sen. Angus King

Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto

Nevada Sen. Jacky Rosen

New Hampshire Sen. Maggie Hassan

New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman

Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine.

One Republican senator voted against the resolution: Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.
