Days after the Senate advanced a funding package to end the longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history, the House of Representatives is set to vote on Wednesday, Nov. 12.

Republicans hold the majority in the House, so the package is expected to pass before heading to the desk of President Donald Trump, who said he would sign the bills on the same day.

The government has been shut down for 43 days, smashing through the previous record of 36 days set during Trump’s first administration.

A small group of Democrats in the Senate announced Sunday night they had negotiated an agreement with Republicans and the White House to resolve the funding crisis. The move was met with widespread criticism from inside the Democratic Party, which considered the move a capitulation.

Here is what you need to know about the House’s vote.

When is the House voting on the shutdown deal?

The House began to meet at around noon ET on Wednesday, Nov. 12. The first votes on the funding package are expected to start between 5 and 5:30 p.m. ET, with the last votes ending about two hours later.

But these times could change if House Speaker Mike Johnson does not have enough representatives to vote in-person to advance the package.

When will Trump sign the funding package?

If the funding deal passes, Trump said he would sign the package Wednesday evening, Nov. 12, ending the shutdown, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
