***UPDATE 7:22 PM ET: The House passed the bill.
———
The House is debating the funding bill. The lawmakers will vote on it soon.
The bill heads to President Donald Trump’s desk if the House passes it.
More than likely, Trump will sign it right away since the White House has encouraged lawmakers to support the bill.
The House has returned for the first time since September 19.
The bill funds the government until January 30, 2026. It allocates funds to the agriculture, defense, and veterans departments, as well as the legislative branch, and reinstates federal workers who lost their jobs during the shutdown.
The Senate passed this version on Monday night. Seven Democrats and one Independent voted for it after the Republicans promised to hold a vote to extend the Obamacare subsidies.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries filed a discharge petition to extend the Obamacare credits for three years.
It needs 218 votes for a floor vote, though, which means four Republican signatures.
