House to Vote on Ending Shutdown, ACA Debate Continues

On November twelfth, the House of Representatives is set to reconvene, aiming to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. The Senate has already passed a deal to fund the government through January thirtieth, two thousand twenty-six, including full-year funding for programs like SNAP and WIC, veterans programs, and military construction. The deal also ensures back pay for furloughed workers and reverses some administration firings. Despite internal disagreements among Democrats, the shutdown ends without addressing their demands on healthcare. Speaker Johnson celebrates the deal, while President Trump signals his intention to sign it. However, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries opposes the Senate deal and considers a discharge petition to force a vote on ACA subsidies, vowing to continue the fight for healthcare reform.
