After the US federal government fell into a partial “shutdown” last weekend due to funding issues, the US House of Representatives reviewed the funding bill on February 2, local time. The related debate is expected to continue until late that night. House Speaker Johnson said that a final vote may be held on the 3rd. Since the federal government funding bill passed by the US Senate on January 30 was not promptly reviewed and passed in the House of Representatives, various departments of the US federal government fell into a “technical standstill” on January 31.
