The US government shutdown may last longer than expected, and the funding bill may not pass through the House of Representatives via a fast-track process. Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries stated that they will not assist the Republicans in passing the federal government funding bill through a fast-track process. US media pointed out that Jeffries' statement implies that the government shutdown could last longer than anticipated. The US Senate passed a funding bill for several federal departments for the remaining fiscal year on January 30, which will be sent to the House for review. However, the House is currently in recess and may vote on the funding bill as early as February 2. It is reported that the operating funds for multiple federal departments, including the State Department and the Pentagon, were exhausted on January 30, leading to a partial "shutdown" of the US federal government starting at midnight on January 31.
