House Sets Vote on Bipartisan Plan to Reopen Government Through January 30

The chamber moves toward passage of the Senate deal as President Trump signals he will sign it to end the 43‑day shutdown.

Overview

  • The Senate approved the package Monday with support from eight Democrats, a break that drew sharp backlash inside the party.
  • Most agencies would be funded only until January 30, while SNAP and other USDA nutrition programs receive full‑year funding including replenished contingency funds and new money for WIC.
  • The bill guarantees retroactive pay for roughly 1.4 million federal workers, restores staffing to pre‑shutdown levels, and blocks additional furloughs or layoffs until January 30.
  • Air travel disruptions continue after thousands of cancellations, and industry groups warn operations will take days to normalize even after reopening.
  • The agreement omits an extension of enhanced ACA subsidies set to expire at year‑end, with only a promised December vote and the risk of another funding standoff in late January.
