US EditionThe Latest: House Returns to Vote on Ending the Government Shutdown After Nearly 2 Months Away
The House plans a final vote on a Senate bill to end the 43-day shutdown affecting over a million federal workers and SNAP recipients, amid political and economic disruptions.
- House returns to Washington to vote on a Senate-passed bill, gaveling at noon with a final vote expected around 7 p.m. on Day 43.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson had sent members home amid a Senate impasse, and House Democrats largely oppose the bill because it lacks an extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits.
- The shutdown halted data collection and economic reports that the Federal Reserve uses to set policy, disrupting October jobs and CPI data and leaving federal workers unpaid, flights canceled, and growth cut by about 1.5 points.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson said he is optimistic about tonight's vote tally as the chamber reconvenes, and Rep. Victoria Spartz, Republican , will support the deal.
- Democrats warn the measure could lapse again in January without Affordable Care Act tax credits, while the shutdown disrupts data crucial for the Federal Reserve meeting December 9.
