Update: President Trump Signs Bill To Re-Open The United States Government

0

On Monday night, President Donald Trump signed a bill to end the government shutdown, capping off a nearly three-day deadlock and reinstating funds until February 8.

The House and the Senate voted on Monday to end the government shutdown, extending funding for three weeks, following a deal being reached between Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell regarding assurances related to immigration.

The House passed the continuing resolution 266-159, with 36 more yes votes than the four-week resolution they passed last week. The movement comes thanks in part to commitments from McConnell and other Republicans in bipartisan meetings

In a tweet moments ago, President Trump said, ‘big win for Republicans as Democrats cave on Shutdown. Now I want a big win for everyone, including Republicans, Democrats and DACA, but especially for our Great Military and Border Security. Should be able to get there. See you at the negotiating table!’.
