Nov. 10 (UPI) -- House Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday said he called representatives to return to Washington, D.C., to vote on a Senate-backed measure that offered hope of reopening the government.
Despite the pending vote, Johnson further pushed against the Democrats' battle to extend health insurance subsidies.
Monday marked the 41st day of the United States' longest-running government shutdown, which started Oct. 1. It beat the previous longest shutdown of 35 days, which took place in 2018 and 2019 during President Donald Trump's first term.
"There'll be long days and long nights here for the foreseeable future to make up for all this lost time that was imposed upon us," Johnson, R-La., told reporters.
