参议院为结束持续中的部分政府停摆达成的妥协方案在周一晚间越过了一个重要障碍,为周二在众议院进行投票铺平了道路。
众议院规则委员会是大多数法案在全院投票前的最后一道关口,该委员会以小组内部共和党人几乎没有分歧的方式推进了上议院与白宫达成的协议。
但这项措施在众议院进行第二次程序性投票(即所谓的”规则投票”)时可能面临问题。该投票需要获得立法者的简单多数票,才能开启辩论并进行最终表决。众议院投票通常沿党派路线进行,路易斯安那州共和党众议长迈克·约翰逊需要几乎所有共和党议员一致投票才能成功。
目前影响约78%联邦政府的部分停摆已进入第三天,此前国会未能在1月30日前将剩余的支出法案送交总统唐纳德·特朗普签署。
众议院议员通过了一系列两党法案,以资助政府持续到2026财年末(9月30日),但民主党人集体反对该计划,抗议特朗普在明尼阿波利斯的移民镇压行动。
在联邦执法部门在明尼阿波利斯的反移民和海关执法局(ICE)示威中开枪打死第二名美国公民后,参议院民主党人退出了该协议,抗议其对国土安全部(DHS)的资助。
特朗普的回应是将在明尼阿波利斯开枪的海关和边境保护局(CBP)人员调离该市,并撤换领导该市镇压行动的高级官员。
但民主党人要求进一步设置”护栏”,例如司法令状,以进一步限制明尼阿波利斯的特工行动。
最终达成的妥协方案将为陷入政治僵局的政府部门提供资金——包括战争部、卫生与公众服务部、交通部、住房和城市发展部、劳工部和教育部——同时仅将国土安全部的当前联邦支出水平延长两周。
这两周的时间旨在让立法者有时间就长期协议进行更多两党谈判。
参议院上周五通过了这项新协议,但纽约州民主党众议员、众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯与其 counterparts(对应者)、纽约州民主党参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默在立场上存在严重分歧。
尽管舒默和参议院民主党人与特朗普政府进行了谈判,但杰弗里斯告诉约翰逊不要指望众议院民主党人的支持来通过该法案。
这是国会两位最高民主党人之间的惊人分歧,这将使众议院共和党人在结束停摆的大部分过程中基本孤军奋战。
但特朗普在周一早些时候成功平息了保守派对另一项叛乱的担忧,至少减轻了众议院共和党领袖的一个头疼问题。
至少有四名众议院共和党人表示,他们可能在周二的规则投票中反对自己的政党,因为该规则排除了一项要求选民登记过程中提供公民身份证明的无关法案。
总统周一早些时候在Truth Social上发文要求对当前协议”不得修改”,实际上削弱了保守派对该立法的推动。
佛罗里达州共和党众议员安娜·保利娜·卢娜一直领导着一群保守派,威胁如果不附加《SAVE美国法案》,就会否决规则投票。
但卢娜在周一晚间告诉记者,她和田纳西州共和党众议员蒂姆·伯切特在得到白宫保证参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩(南达科他州共和党人)将迫使对《SAVE美国法案》进行投票后,都改变了主意。
“就目前我们达成的协议以及讨论而言,我们都会对规则投赞成票,”卢娜说,”有一种所谓的常设阻挠议事方式,可以让图恩参议员在参议院就选民身份证问题进行投票。我们听说这进展顺利,他正在考虑此事…所以我们对此非常满意。”
然而,目前尚不清楚这是否足以说服其他众议院共和党人。一些人对新协议开启两党就遏制特朗普移民镇压行动进行讨论感到不满。
约翰逊在全院规则投票中,政府停摆资金协议最多只能失去一张众议院共和党人的选票。
与此同时,预计近14,000名空中交通管制员将无薪工作。如果停摆持续足够长时间,军人也可能领不到薪水,美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)向美国人通报公共卫生更新的能力将受到限制。

Plan to end government shutdown survives key House hurdle after Trump quells GOP rebellion threats
By Elizabeth Elkind | Fox News
Published February 2, 2026 9:08pm EST
The Senate’s compromise to end the ongoing partial government shutdown survived an important hurdle on Monday night, teeing up the legislation for a vote in the House of Representatives on Tuesday.
The House Rules Committee, the final gatekeeper before most bills get a chamberwide vote, advanced the upper chamber’s deal with the White House with little internal discord among Republicans on the panel.
But the measure could face issues on the House floor during a second procedural hurdle called a “rule vote,” which needs a simple majority of lawmakers to unlock debate and a vote on final passage. House votes normally fall along partisan lines, and Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., will need virtually all GOP lawmakers to vote in lockstep to succeed.
The current partial shutdown, affecting roughly 78% of the federal government, is in its third day after Congress failed to send its remaining spending bills to President Donald Trump’s desk by Jan. 30.
House lawmakers passed an initial set of bipartisan bills to finish funding the government through the end of fiscal year (FY) 2026, Sept. 30, but Democrats rebelled against the plan en masse in protest of Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.
Senate Democrats walked away from the deal in protest of its funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), after federal law enforcement shot and killed a second U.S. citizen during anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) demonstrations in Minneapolis.
Trump has responded by removing Customs and Border Protection (CBP), whose agents shot the second person, from the Midwest city, and replacing senior officials leading the crackdown there.
But Democrats are demanding further guardrails, like judicial warrants, to restrict agents in Minneapolis even further.
The resulting compromise would fund areas of government that were caught up in the political standoff — the departments of War, Health and Human Services, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, Labor, and Education — while simply extending the current federal spending levels for DHS for two weeks.
That two-week span is aimed at giving lawmakers time for more bipartisan negotiations on a longer-term deal.
The Senate passed the new deal on Friday, but House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., is sharply divided from his counterpart, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., in his position.
Despite Schumer and Senate Democrats negotiating the plan with Trump’s White House, Jeffries told Johnson not to rely on House Democrats’ support to pass the bill.
It’s a stunning division between the top two Democrats in Congress, and one that will leave House Republicans largely on their own for much of the process of ending the shutdown.
But Trump managed to quell another rebellion on the conservative side earlier on Monday, easing at least one headache for House GOP leaders.
At least four House Republicans signaled they could vote against their own party during the rule vote on Tuesday over its exclusion of an unrelated measure requiring proof of citizenship in the voter registration process.
The president posted on Truth Social earlier Monday demanding “NO CHANGES” to the current deal, effectively undercutting conservatives’ push for the legislation.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., had been leading a group of conservatives threatening to tank the rule vote if the SAVE America Act was not attached.
But Luna told reporters on Monday night that she and Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., both changed their minds after getting assurances from the White House that Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., would force a vote on the bill — called the SAVE America Act.
“As of right now, with the current agreement that we have, as well as discussions, we will both be a yes on the rule,” Luna said. “There is something called a standing filibuster that would effectively allow Senator Thune to put voter ID on the floor of the Senate. We are hearing that that is going well and he is considering that…so we are very happy about that.”
It’s not clear if it’s enough for other House Republicans, however, some of whom are upset over the new deal opening up the need for bipartisan discussions on reining in Trump’s immigration crackdown.
Johnson can only lose one House GOP vote for the funding deal to survive a chamber-wide rule vote.
In the meantime, nearly 14,000 air traffic controllers are expected to work without pay. Members of the military could also miss paychecks if the shutdown goes on long enough, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will be limited in its ability to communicate public health updates to Americans.
