The longest government shutdown in US history ended Wednesday evening after 43 days. House Republicans and a handful of House Democrats passed the new continuing resolution (CR) by a party-line majority of 222-209.
Nothing in the agreement will force Trump and the US Office of Budget Management to spend funds allocated by Congress as required by law, which was a demand of Democrats at the beginning of the quarantine. Trump and Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought have repeatedly refused to spend money appropriated by Congress or armed Republican lawmakers to “repeal” funding they don't like.
Senators Angus King (I-ME), John Fetterman (D-PA), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) voted for the Continued Resolution (CR) following a bipartisan agreement, making a vote possible in House of Representatives on Wednesday.
Senate Republicans largely supported the deal. Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who had been voting against the Czech Republican Party for weeks, was the only Republican to leave his caucus.
The new CR and the end of the shutdown will strip Democrats of much of their leverage in their fight to protect expiring Obamacare subsidies and prevent large premium increases for millions of Americans. The bipartisan agreement includes a promise that Senate Democrats will get a vote on the bill of their choice by the end of the year. This promise, of course, does not guarantee that the Affordable Care Bill will pass the Senate or, if it did, that the House would take up the bill. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Los Angeles) has already said he will not promise to bring up the Democratic ACA bill.

The new CR will fund the federal government through January 30 along with the Agriculture-FDA, Military Construction-Veterans and Legislature minibus. The minibus would maintain SNAP funding through Sept. 30, 2026, and would also include reversing furloughs of federal workers that the Trump administration implemented during the shutdown, a move the administration has openly described as an attempt to gain leverage in shutdown negotiations.
