Fox News reports that the six Democrats in the House of Representatives, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Washington), Jared Golden (Maine), Adam Gray (California), Don Davis (North Carolina), Henry Cuellar (Texas) and Tom Suozzi (New York), broke ranks with Democratic Party leadership by voting in favor of legislation ending the federal government shutdown.
The six Democrats voted with all but two Republicans to pass the bill by a 222 to 209 margin. President Donald J. Trump signed the legislation late last night (11/12/2025), putting an end to the longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history.
U.S Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez posted on the social media site ‘X’ that “the last several weeks have been a case study in why most Americans can’t stand Congress. None of my friends who rely on SNAP would want to trade their dinner for an ambiguous D.C. beltway ‘messaging victory,’ and I’m glad this ugly scene is in the rearview mirror.”
