The House this week is racing to end a partial government shutdown that took effect on Saturday. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) had hoped to pass the bill under a fast-track procedure that would bypass the need to hold a difficult procedural rule vote but would require that the bill get a two-thirds majority. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), however, threw cold water on that plan when he told Johnson that Democrats wouldn’t supply the required votes under the fast-track process.
AI:The federal government remains in a partial shutdown following Saturday's deadline as House Speaker Mike Johnson attempts to navigate a legislative impasse.

However, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has blocked this path by stating Democrats will not provide the necessary votes under that specific process. Consequently, Speaker Johnson has indicated that the House will not hold a vote to end the partial shutdown until at least Tuesday.Open
