Shutdown Ends, Democrats Divided, Trump Triumphant
The historic 43-day US government shutdown is officially over. President Trump hailed the agreement to reopen the government as a “big win,” even as Democrats accused their own leadership of caving under pressure.
Progressives blasted Senate Democrats for failing to secure health insurance subsidies, while California Governor Gavin Newsom labeled the deal “pathetic.” Trump capitalized on the infighting, claiming Democrats “broke” under Republican resolve.
Meanwhile, Congress now faces another funding deadline in January to avoid a repeat crisis.
