Speaker Johnson to End Shutdown by Tuesday Without Democratic Support

Speaker Johnson Announces Plan to End Shutdown by Tuesday

US Speaker of the House Johnson has announced plans to end the current partial shutdown without the support of Democratic lawmakers. According to reports, Johnson aims to bring a vote on the funding bill to the House floor by Tuesday.

The House’s efforts to pass a funding bill have been hindered by divisions among Democrats over DHS funding. In a private call, some House Democrats expressed opposition to passing a bill that includes funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Johnson has stated that there will be no quick vote on the funding bill, citing the need for bipartisan support. He has also blamed Democratic lawmakers for their demands related to ICE funding.

The shutdown is expected to last until at least Tuesday, with some reports suggesting it could extend beyond that date. The situation remains fluid as negotiations between Johnson and Democratic lawmakers continue.

Details of the proposed plan are not yet available, but sources indicate that Johnson will present a revised bill to the House floor by Tuesday. The outcome of this vote is uncertain, and further developments are expected in the coming days.

The partial shutdown has had significant impacts on various government agencies and services, with many employees working without pay. The situation remains fluid as lawmakers continue to negotiate over funding levels.
