After being shutdown for 16 days, a bipartisan deal passed late Wednesday that temporarily reopened the federal government and suspended the nation’s debt limit. The deal, struck by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), passed the Senate floor 81-18 and the House by 285-144 vote (with 87 House Republicans voting in favor). President Barack Obama quickly signed the legislation, H.R. 2775, shortly after midnight early Thursday morning. |
