President Donald Trump signed a bill to end the longest federal shutdown on Wednesday night after 43 days. The U.S. Senate approved H.R. 5371 by a vote of 222-209.

Tom Barrett, R-MI, thanked the eight Senate Democratic lawmakers who helped end the shutdown. “Tonight, we ended the longest government shutdown in American history after 43 days of unnecessary suffering for the American people,” Barrett said in a statement. "Thanks to eight Senate Democrats who were willing to work across the aisle, our troops and federal employees who were furloughed or forced to work without a paycheck will be taken care of. Families who rely on SNAP benefits no longer need to worry about where their next meal will come from, and Americans can once again travel with confidence as we head into the holiday season. With this disappointing chapter behind us, I look forward to tackling the runaway cost of health care and other issues that are top of mind for families across Michigan and the United States.” America won tonight and we are open pic.twitter.com/vU7qyn7Hoz — Tim Burchett (@timburchett) November 13, 2025
