Odaily News According to reports, due to the inability of the U.S. Democratic and Republican parties to reach a consensus on relevant reform plans, on the 12th local time, with just one day remaining before the funding for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security expires, a Senate vote failed to advance the funding bill for the department. Given that both the Senate and the House of Representatives are set to begin a 10-day recess starting the 14th, media widely believe this makes a "shutdown" of the Department of Homeland Security almost inevitable. It is reported that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security may enter a shutdown starting at 00:00 local time on the 14th, which corresponds to 13:00 Beijing time on the 14th. (Jin10)
