After 43 days, the U.S. House voted the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 12, to end the longest-ever U.S. shutdown on a mostly party-line vote, 222-209, sending a resolution to fund government to President Donald Trump to be signed.

All of Michigan's 13 members of the House voted with their party: Seven Republicans casting their votes in favor of the resolution and six Democratic members against. (In the House overall six Democrats joined the Republican majority in supporting the resolution, and two Republicans joined Democrats voting against.) Michigan's two Democratic members of the U.S. Senate also voted against the resolution previously, arguing that concerns over health care costs needed more of a guarantee they would be addressed than the promise of a future vote in the Senate.
