US House to vote on bill that could end longest-ever government shutdown

The US House is set to vote on a bill aimed at ending the longest government shutdown in US history, which has lasted over 50 days. House Speaker Mike Johnson has called lawmakers back to Washington for this vote. However, Democrats are expressing strong opposition, vowing to reject the proposal due to its failure to extend expiring healthcare subsidies, a critical issue for many Americans. This situation highlights the ongoing partisan divisions in Congress and the challenges of reaching a consensus on government funding.
