House Votes on Ending Shutdown

On November twelfth, the U.S. House of Representatives moved towards ending the longest government shutdown in history by voting on a short-term funding bill. The bill, which would reopen the government until at least January, was expected to pass if it cleared both chambers. However, Democratic senators initially refused to support the bill due to its lack of enhanced health insurance subsidies for millions of Americans. A compromise was reached, allowing Democrats a separate vote in December to extend these subsidies, ultimately leading to the bills passage and the end of the shutdown.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
