Partial U.S. Government Shutdown Could Last Until Tuesday Amid Spending Disputes

Funding standoff continues as Democratic opposition and GOP divisions delay approval of $1.2 trillion budget package

A partial U.S. government shutdown that began yesterday morning may continue at least through Tuesday, according to reports from Politico. The House of Representatives is expected to vote on a $1.2 trillion spending package only after the Rules Committee finalizes it. However, Democratic opposition and internal divisions among Republicans threaten to delay its approval.

The shutdown is considered partial because several federal agencies have already secured funding for the entire 2026 fiscal year, while others—including the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)—remain unfunded.

The Senate measure provides funding for most federal agencies through September 30 and grants the DHS a two-week extension to negotiate reforms in federal policing and security procedures. These reforms come after two U.S. citizens were killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis. Democrats are pushing for mandatory body cameras, warrants for enforcement actions, and the removal of masks for federal agents. Some conservative lawmakers are seeking to attach election-related legislation to the spending package, further complicating the process.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries stated that Democrats will not provide the roughly 70 votes required for fast-track approval, though support could be considered later. President Donald Trump has expressed backing for a Senate agreement. While many sources describe the shutdown as “likely brief,” Democratic resistance and Republican infighting increase the probability that the partial U.S. government shutdown could extend beyond Monday.

As negotiations continue, federal agencies without appropriations face operational uncertainty, raising concerns about potential disruptions to critical services and government functions. The standoff highlights the challenges of reaching bipartisan consensus on federal spending in a politically divided Congress.
