In the House, potential obstacles are arising in the vote to end the US government shutdown as four key factors come into play. The first hurdle is the deep partisan divide between the Democrats and Republicans. Democrats are pushing for a clean spending bill with no funding for a border wall, while Republicans are adamant about including border security funding in any proposal.
Secondly, President Trump’s unwavering stance on funding for the border wall adds complexity to the situation. Trump has stated that he will not sign any bill that does not include funding for the wall, putting pressure on Republican lawmakers to stand firm on this issue.
Thirdly, the impact of the shutdown on federal workers and the economy cannot be ignored. With thousands of federal employees furloughed or working without pay, the pressure to reach a resolution is mounting. The longer the shutdown continues, the greater the consequences will be.
Lastly, the uncertainty surrounding how the public views the shutdown and who they hold responsible adds a layer of unpredictability to the situation. Both Democrats and Republicans are mindful of public opinion and how their actions during this time will be perceived by voters.
As the House grapples with these obstacles, the path to ending the shutdown remains unclear, with both sides seemingly entrenched in their positions.
