Breaking: House Democrats vote to end gov't shutdown — and send Trump an ultimatum

Democrats voted to end the government shutdown on Thursday after seizing control the U.S. House of Representatives, but they thumbed their nose at a threat from President Donald Trump over his promised border wall.

Newly elected House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) made it clear that they would not vote for border wall funding, and the bill to reopen government did not have one dollar for Trump's promise from the 2016 campaign.

Trump had threatened to veto any legislation unless it had funding for his border wall — he is demanding at least $5 billion for his immigration security project.

The bill passed 239-192, with five Republicans voting with Democrats to stop the partial government shutdown.

The shutdown is in its 13th day.

While the president and many of his allies have tried to pin the blame of the government shutdown on the Democrats, his opponents continue to publicize video where Trump said directly to Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y) that he would take the blame for the shutdown.

Pelosi laughed when she was asked if there was any way where she could see funding one dollar for the border wall.

"A dollar?" she responded. "A dollar. One dollar, yeah, one dollar."

The president blamed the political motivations of the Democrats in a tweet Thursday.

"The Shutdown is only because of the 2020 Presidential Election," he said.

"The Democrats know they can't win based on all of the achievements of 'Trump,' so they are going all out on the desperately needed Wall and Border Security - and Presidential Harassment," he added. "For them, strictly politics!"
