Trump signs bill to reopen government through January 2026

The government is officially reopen now that President Donald Trump has signed the stopgap bill approved by Congress Wednesday evening. But a similar situation could be on the horizon come the new year, as this bill only funds the government through Jan. 30. FOX 5's Jim Lokay has more.

The backstory:

President Donald Trump signed a funding bill Wednesday night, ending the nation’s longest government shutdown at 43 days.

The shutdown left thousands of federal workers without pay, stranded travelers at airports and sent long lines to food banks.

The shutdown deepened partisan rifts in Washington as Trump canceled projects and attempted to dismiss federal workers in order to pressure Democrats.

The president blamed Democrats for the standoff and urged voters against backing the party in the coming elections.

"So I just want to tell the American people, you should not forget this," Trump said. "When we come up to midterms and other things, don’t forget what they’ve done to our country."
