WASHINGTON, D.C. (ABC NEWS) – President Donald Trump late Wednesday night signed a funding bill that will end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

The House passed the bill by a 222-209 margin earlier in the evening. The Senate passed the bill on Monday.

The legislation will fund the government through Jan. 30 and provide funding for some government agencies for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Trump continues to attack Democrats for the shutdown, saying the majority of them were happy to watch the American people “suffer” while they tried to appease their radical left base.

After the House passed the government funding bill on Wednesday night, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Whip Katherine Clark and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar released a statement saying they would continue to fight for the Affordable Care Act tax credits, a debate central to the government shutdown.

“House Democrats will continue our fight to lower the high cost of living, decisively address the Republican healthcare crisis and extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits,” the leaders said.

The leaders called for Republicans to work with Democrats on addressing health care policies.

“Over the past several weeks, a handful of Republicans claimed to be interested in addressing the healthcare crisis that they have created in America. Open Enrollment is here and the Congress must act with urgency. Now is the time for so-called traditional Republicans to join with House Democrats, sign the discharge petition and force a vote on our bill to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits for three years,” the leaders added.
