House sends bill ending government shutdown to Trump's desk after 21 Dems break with Jeffries
This is performative politics again.
The House of Representatives passed a federal funding bill aimed at ending the partial government shutdown on Tuesday, which will bring the four-day standoff to a close shortly after the legislation gets to President Donald Trump's desk.
The funding bill is a compromise struck between Senate Democrats and the White House that would fund roughly 97% of the federal government through the end of fiscal 2026.
Trump played an integral role in hashing out the new deal and quelling a subsequent rebellion by conservative lawmakers to get it over the finish line.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., signaled he was strongly against the plan, despite his Senate counterpart's role in putting it together. But several Democrats bucked his concerns in the end to vote in favor of it.
HOUSE CONSERVATIVES THREATEN EXTENDED SHUTDOWN OVER ELECTION INTEGRITY MEASURE
Democrats had initially walked away from a bipartisan House deal to finish funding the federal government through the end of fiscal 2026 on Sept. 30, rebelling against a bill funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over Trump's handling of unrest in Minneapolis.
Their mutiny left roughly 78% of the government's yearly funding hanging in the balance because the DHS bill was lumped into a wider package authorizing budgets for the departments of War, Labor, Health and Human Services (HHS), Transportation, Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and Education.
The deal struck between Senate Democrats and the White House would fully fund those remaining areas while only extending current funding levels for DHS through Feb. 13, in order to give Democrats and Republicans time to hash out a longer-term bipartisan plan.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told reporters on Tuesday that the legislation would succeed, though he hinted at some dissatisfaction with how negotiations played out.
"This is not my preferred route. I wanted to keep all six bills together," Johnson said. "But listen, the president agreed with Schumer that they would separate Homeland, and we'll do that, and we'll handle it. … The Republicans are going to do the responsible thing."
The Senate's federal funding deal survived an important hurdle late Tuesday morning, clearing a House-wide "rule vote" to allow for lawmakers to debate the measure and set up a vote on final passage by early afternoon.
