President Donald Trump ended the government shutdown late Wednesday night, heaping a healthy dose of blame on Democrats for “inflicting massive harm” over the past 43 days.
The House passed a short-term continuing resolution, previously approved by the Senate, to fund the government through the end of January earlier Wednesday evening. The bill was largely supported by the Republican conference, with a handful of Democrats joining them in voting for the bill. The president signed the bill itself into law after 10 p.m. Wednesday night.
