Longest Government Shutdown Nearing End As House Returns To Vote

After 43 days, the longest government shutdown in U.S. history is expected to end as the House votes on a Senate-approved funding bill on November 12. The measure is expected to pass despite opposition from most Democrats over the lack of health care subsidy extensions. With President Donald Trump expected to sign the bill once it reaches him, federal workers will receive back pay, SNAP benefits will resume, and air travel disruptions should ease.
