House Passes Measure to End 43-Day Government Shutdown

The House passed a funding measure ending the 43-day shutdown, and President Donald Trump signed it. Jeffries opposed the measure and said Democrats would keep pressing for an extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits. Center outlets emphasize Jeffries’s push for health-care subsidies and Democrats’ frustration over negotiations. Right-leaning outlets also report Democratic opposition but, in several accounts, cast the shutdown as a Democratic failure or assign Democrats responsibility for it.
