The shutdown will end tonight, with President Trump set to sign the bill very soon.
NBC News reported:
The House on Wednesday night voted to pass legislation to reopen the federal government and end an acrimonious 43-day shutdown, the longest in American history.
The successful vote came after Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., brought the Republican-controlled chamber back into session for the first time since Sept. 19, wrapping up an extraordinarily long and unscheduled recess.
The House passed the measure in a 222-209 vote. The Senate had approved the same legislation Monday when eight Democrats peeled off and voted with Republicans to break a filibuster to end the shutdown.
The bill now heads to Trump’s desk to become law and reopen the government, restoring funding that has been frozen or halted.
The good news is, the Schumer shutdown is ending!
The bad news is, no more sombrero memes.
The White House gave us one last one:
RIP DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN.
