House votes 222-209 to end the 43-day government shutdown, the longest in U.S. history

On November 12, 2025, the House passed the Senate's reopening bill 222-209 and Trump signed it, ending the 43-day shutdown. The lapse had furloughed about 750,000 federal workers, forced air traffic controllers to work unpaid, and disrupted food aid for roughly 42 million people before it closed.
