The House is expected to vote on a temporary funding package intended to end the longest U.S. government shutdown in history. The deal would restore disrupted services but leaves a dispute over health insurance subsidies unresolved.
The House was expected to vote Wednesday on a stopgap funding package that would extend funding through January 30 and restore food assistance, pay federal workers and help revive air-traffic control. President Donald Trump supported the package, while House Democrats opposed the Senate deal in part because it did not secure an extension of federal health insurance subsidies. Mike Johnson urged House Democrats to support it; Hakeem Jeffries said Republicans were responsible for the situation. A Reuters/Ipsos poll found Americans nearly evenly divided over whom to blame, with more blaming Republicans.
The article also reported that Adelita Grijalva was to be sworn in, potentially supplying the final signature on a petition seeking a House vote to release unclassified records related to Jeffrey Epstein. The funding package includes provisions allowing some Republican senators to sue the Justice Department over alleged privacy violations tied to the investigation of the January 6 attack. Thomas Massie was expected to oppose the funding measure, while Andy Harris said he believed the House Freedom Caucus would support it.
