Democrats in the United States say they will not pass funding plans in a fast-track process.

On January 31, the Democratic leader of the United States House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, stated that they would not help the Republican Party pass federal government funding quickly. The US media pointed out that Jeffries' statement means that the government shutdown may last longer than expected. The US Senate passed a funding bill for several federal government departments for the remaining fiscal year on January 30, and the bill will be sent to the House for consideration. However, the House is in recess and may not vote on the funding bill until as early as February 2. It is reported that the operating funds for several federal departments, including the State Department and the Pentagon, were depleted on January 30, resulting in a partial government shutdown starting at midnight on January 31.
