Trump Signs Bill Ending Longest Government Shutdown In U.S. History
U.S. President Donald TRUMP signed a bill on Wednesday, formally concluding the longest government shutdown in American history. The 43-day impasse, stemming from partisan disagreements over spending provisions, resulted in an estimated 60,000 private-sector job losses, according to National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett.
The resolution marks a victory for Polymarket bettors who predicted the shutdown WOULD end between November 12-15. The deal funds the government through January in exchange for a mid-December vote on healthcare tax credits—a compromise Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized as inadequate for addressing affordability concerns.
