News Topical, Digital Desk : The 43-day shutdown in the United States is now on the verge of ending. US senators have approved a bill to end it. According to information shared by the White House, US President Donald Trump signed the bill today. Trump's signature ended the US shutdown.
The impact of the shutdown on government employees
It's worth noting that when the bill to end the shutdown was passed in the US House of Representatives on Wednesday, the House erupted in loud applause. Many lawmakers jumped with joy and hugged each other. Some even walked out during the voting. The bill passed the House by a vote of 222 to 209. Trump announced his imminent signing of the bill as soon as it was passed.
The shutdown has left many federal employees without pay, travelers stranded at airports, and people queuing outside food banks to get food for their families.
What is the reason for the anger of the Democrats?
It is believed that Democratic Party lawmakers are very angry with this bill. They say that they were unable to secure an extension of healthcare subsidies in the Senate agreement. The first procedural vote in the House was 213-209, paving the way for the final vote. Democrats alleged that even after a 40-day struggle, they did not achieve any progress on their main demands.
