Donald Trump signed legislation ending the shutdown after a 222-to-209 House vote, with six Democrats joining Republicans. Rashida Tlaib criticized the deal for not extending Affordable Care Act tax credits, while other Democrats described the outcome differently.
Trump signed the shutdown-ending legislation late Wednesday after six Democrats joined Republicans in the House vote, which passed 222 to 209. The article says Democrats had sought an extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits set to expire at year’s end, and that eight Senate Democrats had endorsed a reopening deal over the weekend with the tacit blessing of Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Tlaib said the deal lacked a concrete plan to extend the subsidies and warned of higher premiums and healthcare costs. Senator Chris Murphy said the agreement kept healthcare in the national debate, while Representative Ilhan Omar blamed Trump and congressional Republicans for the shutdown and its effects on people receiving nutrition support.
