In-Town Pool Report #7: Guest List/Remarks Ongoing

Remarks are ongoing.

"So, with my signature, the federal government will now resume normal operations," the president said.

Earlier after heralding the soon to end shutdown, Trump reiterated his call to end the Senate filibuster.

"I say terminate the filibuster, because, by the way, the Democrats will do it immediately if they ever assume office, which hopefully they won't," he said.

He thanked the eight Senate Democrats who "did the right thing in voting to end this craziness."
