House Votes on Ending Shutdown, Epstein Files Petition Surges

On November twelfth, the U.S. House of Representatives votes on a bill to end the longest government shutdown, impacting millions of federal workers. The Senate already passed the funding package, sending it to the House for approval. Meanwhile, newly sworn-in Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva signs a petition to force a vote on the Jeffrey Epstein files, while President Trump accuses Democrats of using the topic to distract from the shutdown. The House vote presents a narrow path forward, with Republicans needing 217 votes for the bill to pass. If approved, it will head to President Trumps desk for signing, ending the shutdown but leaving economic impacts. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
