House passes funding bill to reopen government and sends it to Trump for his signature

(CNN) — The House on Tuesday passed a sprawling spending package that will end the partial government shutdown — but created another funding cliff for the Department of Homeland Security in two weeks.

President Donald Trump is expected to sign the funding bill quickly, ending the shutdown after three days. Trump and GOP leaders had pushed hard for their GOP members to fall in line despite their own private grumblings about the bill, eager to avoid a debilitating shutdown like the one that paralyzed Washington for 43 days last fall.

The vote was a hard-fought victory for both Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, who had to cajole the fractious GOP conference to back a deal that only temporarily funds DHS and excludes certain conservative priorities.
