US EditionWhite House says Trump hopes to sign bill Wednesday night to end shutdown
The bill ends the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, with most states expected to restore SNAP benefits within three days, officials said.
- On Wednesday the House plans to approve a stopgap spending bill that President Donald Trump is ready to sign, ending the nearly 43-day government shutdown once signed.
- The stopgap bill keeps funding through Jan. 30 and includes $30,000,000 for the U.S. Capitol Police, $30,000,000 for the U.S. Marshals Service and $28,000,000 for Supreme Court justices, giving Congress more time to resolve nine appropriations originally due by Oct. 1.
- The FAA administrator said air traffic controllers will receive full back pay within 1 week, but many retired during the shutdown and previous shutdowns delayed back pay up to 8 weeks.
- Most states are expected to issue full SNAP benefits within 3 days after the shutdown ends, though some may take about a week, and the Small Business Administration said it will immediately resume loan processing.
- An AP News/NORC poll shows Republican approval for the president fell from 81% in March to 68% this week, while Congress must still finish nine appropriations by the Jan. 30 deadline and Johnson plans a vote on subpoenas.
