Trump administration live updates: House returns to D.C. for shutdown vote

HOUSE RETURNS: House members are returning to Washington for a vote this evening on the Senate-amended bill to reopen the government, which would end a federal shutdown that has now continued for 43 days — the longest in U.S. history. GRIJALVA SWEARING-IN: Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva is scheduled to be sworn in today, nearly two months after the Arizona Democrat won her late father’s seat in a special election. Democrats will have 214 members to the Republicans' 219, and Grijalva is expected to be the 218th signature on a discharge petition to force a House vote on whether the Justice Department should release the Jeffrey Epstein files. SCHLOSSBERG'S RUNNING: Jack Schlossberg, the only grandson of late President John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy Onassis, announced he’s running for the New York City congressional seat long held by Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., who has announced he will retire. VIRGINIA BATTLEGROUND: Former Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., a member of the Jan. 6 committee who lost re-election in 2022, told NBC News that she's launching a bid for her old congressional seat against GOP Rep. Jennifer Kiggans, one of the most competitive districts in next year's election.
