Mars Finance reports that Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries stated they will not assist the Republican Party in passing the federal government funding bill through a fast-track process. US media pointed out that Jeffries’ statement suggests the US government shutdown could last longer than expected. The US Senate passed a funding bill for multiple 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 earliest hold a vote on the funding bill on February 2. It is reported that the operating funds for several federal departments, including the US State Department and the Pentagon, were exhausted on January 30, causing the US federal government to enter a partial “shutdown” starting at midnight on January 31.
