After 43 days of gridlock, President Donald Trump has signed a historic bill to end the longest U.S. government shutdown in history. The measure passed Congress in a 222–209 vote, with eight Democrats breaking ranks to join Republicans.
Trump blasted Democrats, accusing them of holding America hostage and calling the shutdown a “Democratic disaster.” Federal workers will finally receive their pay after weeks of uncertainty, as Trump hailed the deal as a “great day for our country.”
The move has reignited deep divisions within the Democratic Party, with critics warning that the defection of key senators could reshape political alliances ahead of the 2026 midterms.
