Mike Johnson Backs House Bill to End 43-Day Shutdown

The House passed a funding package that President Trump signed, ending the 43-day government shutdown. Speaker Mike Johnson backed the measure and urged its passage. Center outlets mostly report the vote and reopening, emphasizing the unresolved health-care subsidy dispute and, in some articles, debate over Johnson’s handling. Right-leaning outlets portray Johnson as holding firm against Democrats and often blame them for the shutdown.
