The House was expected to vote on a Senate-passed funding deal after a 43-day government shutdown. Speaker Mike Johnson predicted passage, while House Democrats, led by Hakeem Jeffries, opposed the deal and continued pressing for action on Affordable Care Act subsidies.
The House was scheduled to return on Wednesday for the first time in 54 days, with votes expected on a Senate-passed measure to reopen the government. The shutdown had reached 43 days, surpassing the previous record. The Senate had passed the deal 60-40; it would fund the government through Jan. 30, 2026, and provide full-year funding for several programs, while reversing some shutdown-related firings and providing backpay to furloughed workers.
Mike Johnson expressed optimism about the expected House vote, apologized to people affected by the shutdown and blamed Democrats for the impasse. Hakeem Jeffries opposed the Senate deal and said House Democrats were considering a discharge petition concerning ACA subsidies. The article also reported that Donald Trump said he would sign the deal and that Senate Republican leaders had promised a December vote on an ACA-related bill of Democrats’ choosing.
