House Returns to Session, Ending Shutdown: A New Funding Bill Heads to the House for a Crucial VoteThe House of Representatives is set to resume session on November twelfth, ending a seven-week stalemate that led to a partial government shutdown. The Senate reached a deal with Democrats to end the shutdown, amending the House-passed bill to include full-year appropriations and extending funding until January thirtieth. The new package now heads to the House for a critical vote. However, the Houses lengthy absence has drawn criticism, with Democrats and some Republicans expressing frustration over the delay in swearing in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva and the lack of action on expiring healthcare subsidies. Speaker Mike Johnson will need to unite his conference to pass the new funding bill and address the healthcare issue, as Democrats consider a discharge petition to bypass the Speaker if necessary.
