Three days after shutdown, President Trump signs bill to re-open the United States government
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.
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!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 23, 2018
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!'.
