US EditionShaheen Says Critics of Shutdown Deal Should Focus Blame on Trump, Johnson, and Republicans
The Senate's deal funds the government through January, restores pay for 19,000 federal workers, and supports SNAP food benefits amid ongoing healthcare subsidy disputes.
- On November 9, 2025, the U.S. Senate advanced a tentative bipartisan deal, with New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen voting to move it forward, joining eight senators overall.
- Failed talks over ACA premium tax credits precipitated the shutdown that began on October 1, making this the longest government shutdown in American history.
- Shaheen, a senior Democrat, helped lead negotiations after hours of huddling in the Senate basement, with seven Democrats and one Independent breaking ranks to reach the agreement.
- The deal provides protections for federal workers who were let go and aims to reinstate wrongfully terminated employees with back pay, while 75,000 SNAP recipients and 19,000 federal workers in New Hampshire were affected.
- Shaheen said the next step is a mid-December Senate vote to address tax credits, securing a pledge for the floor vote and urging blame on President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, noting 76% of premium tax credit recipients are in Trump-won states.
