最新报道：According to Bijie.com, on October 10th, Republican and Democratic congressional leaders continued to trade accusations over the US government shutdown, with neither side conceding their respective positions or talking points. The standoff has entered its ninth day. The shutdown stalemate revolves around healthcare and political maneuvering. Since before the shutdown began, House Speaker Johnson has refused to call lawmakers back, insisting the House had completed its work and passed a stopgap funding bill that would reopen the government until November 21st. However, some fellow Republicans are beginning to question his decision to keep lawmakers out of Washington. Representatives Kevin Kelly, representing swing districts in California, and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia have both called for a return to Capitol Hill next week. Meanwhile, since funding ran out on October 1st, there have been no signs of resolving the impasse to reopen the government. At the leadership level, Republicans have refused to engage with Democrats. Instead of negotiating with the other party's leadership, Republicans are hoping to enlist the support of a small number of rank-and-file Democratic senators for the GOP's stopgap spending bill. Some have proposed passing separate funding bills piecemeal, but that would be a long and arduous process in the Senate, where Republicans would need five Democrats to join them in supporting their stopgap bill to end the shutdown.
