Ends 35-day government shutdown without wall funding

After the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, Trump conceded and endorsed a stopgap bill to reopen the government until February 15 without receiving his demanded $5.7 billion for a border wall. The 35-day shutdown, which began December 22, 2018, caused 800,000 federal workers to miss paychecks and cost the economy an estimated $6 billion—more than the wall funding Trump demanded. Trump threatened to shut down the government again or declare a national emergency if he didn't get wall funding by February 15, which he ultimately did on February 15 by declaring a national emergency.
