Minnesota members of the House of Representatives voted along party lines Wednesday night in the bid to end the longest government shutdown in history.
The deal to end the 43-day shutdown started to coalesce over the weekend, when eight moderate Senate Democrats struck a deal with Senate Majority Leader John Thune and tipped the scales to pass a continuing resolution. The agreement guarantees a vote in December on Affordable Care Act tax credits , which was a center point of the dispute between Democrats and Republicans. It also includes a trio of full-year funding bills and the reversal of all government layoffs that happened during the shutdown.
The Minnesota Democratic delegation denounced the compromise, outraged that they didn't make headway on health care affordability. Mos
