President Trump Signs Funding Bill to End Government Shutdown
Late last night, President Trump signed a government funding package at the White House, officially ending the longest government shutdown in U.S. history at 43 days. The legislation extends funding for most federal agencies through January 30 and provides full-year appropriations for several others.
The Senate approved the measure on Monday, with eight Democrats joining Republicans in support. In the House, most Democrats voted against the bill, citing the absence of provisions to renew certain expiring health care tax credits. As part of the agreement, Senate leaders committed to holding a vote on the issue by mid-December.
