SaralnamaWhat could end the US government shutdown that began on Tuesday evening in Washington DC? Four possible scenarios exist. First, more Democrats might join Republicans to pass a spending bill. Second, Democrats could give in due to public pressure and economic impact. Third, Republicans might compromise on health insurance subsidies. Fourth, a prolonged shutdown could harm both parties politically. The shutdown started after the Senate failed to pass a funding bill. It's the first shutdown in nearly seven years. Key issues include health insurance subsidies and government healthcare cuts. The situation remains tense, with leaders exchanging harsh words and videos. The last major shutdown in 2018-2019 lasted 35 days. (Updated 2 Oct 2025, 00:13 IST; source: link)
