US EditionUS House takes step toward ending longest government shutdown in history
The House voted 213 to 209 to advance the Senate funding package, potentially ending the 43-day shutdown affecting millions of federal workers and critical programs.
- On Wednesday, the U.S. House cleared a procedural rule to advance the Senate-passed funding package, aiming to end the 43-day shutdown as President Donald Trump is expected to sign it.
- House Democratic leaders resisted funding that did not extend enhanced ACA tax credits, as most House Democrats opposed the measure lacking a guarantee and the Senate included a December vote on subsidies.
- A Senate-added provision to retroactively sue the DOJ provoked bipartisan outcry after Senate Republicans inserted language benefiting eight senators, prompting Speaker Mike Johnson to vow a House vote to remove it.
- Reopening the government will trigger intense catch-up work for the House after 43 days largely shuttered, while millions of Americans and thousands of air traffic controllers and Transportation Security Administration agents will see relief.
- The package sets up a new funding cliff on January 30, funds SNAP, WIC, and veterans services through fiscal year 2026, and House GOP leaders aim to finish nine remaining bills soon.
