The partial government shutdown that started early Saturday is likely to continue until at least Tuesday. The House is now anticipated to vote on a $1.2 trillion funding bill on that day, delayed by disagreements among Democrats and divisions within the Republican Party.
House Republican leaders are working to resolve internal conflicts and secure enough support to move the funding package forward. Meanwhile, government operations affected by the shutdown remain suspended or limited.
**Why this matters**
A prolonged shutdown disrupts federal services and affects government employees, contractors, and citizens relying on government programs. The delay in passing the funding bill increases uncertainty and could have economic implications if the impasse continues.
