U.S. House Votes to End Government Shutdown After Record 43-Day Closure

The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to approve a funding bill that will end the record-long government shutdown, which lasted for 43 days. The bipartisan bill, passed with a vote of 222 to 209, allocates funds to resume crucial programs like food aid and compensates thousands of federal employees who have been left unpaid. Additionally, it restores normal operations of the air traffic control system. The legislation will now be sent to President Trump for his signature.
