US House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed confidence that the partial federal government shutdown will be resolved by Tuesday, stating there will be sufficient Republican votes to pass the federal spending bill. Johnson stated in an interview, "Let me put it this way, I am confident we can get this done by Tuesday at the latest," adding, "We face logistical challenges getting everyone back to Washington. And from my conversations with Hakeem Jeffries, I know we need to pass a rule, and we will likely have to do it mostly on our own." The Senate approved a spending package comprising five bills last Friday, funding government agencies through September, alongside a two-week temporary funding measure for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This legislation must still secure approval from the House of Representatives, which is currently in recess until Monday. Johnson noted, "They will separate the Homeland Security bill out," explaining, "Our intention is to fund all federal government agencies except DHS by Tuesday. Then we will engage in two weeks of good-faith negotiations to resolve the DHS issue." Over the weekend, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries informed Johnson not to count on Democratic votes, given the party's opposition to funding DHS without reforms, even for a short-term measure. This Democratic stance follows demands from party lawmakers for restrictions on ICE after its agents killed two US citizens in Minneapolis.
