Democrats, Republicans Reach Deal to End Shutdown

On November tenth, a significant development unfolded in Washington as moderate Democrats agreed to a deal with Republican lawmakers to reopen the government, potentially ending the longest shutdown in history. The agreement allows for a vote on funding the government without immediately guaranteeing an extension of health care subsidies, causing friction within the Democratic party. Three former governors played a crucial role in breaking the stalemate, agreeing to vote to advance bipartisan spending bills in exchange for a mid-December vote on health care tax credits. The agreement also includes provisions to reverse mass firings of federal workers and ensure back pay.
