No end to the House shutdown is currently in sight, as the issue remains unresolved and negotiations between the parties continue. The House has been in a state of shutdown since December 2018, when the Democrats were newly elected to the majority and a funding bill could not be agreed upon.The shutdown has continued for almost three years now, and both parties have refused to compromise. This has led to a stalemate in Congress, with neither party willing to budge and the resulting lack of progress in policymaking. Unfortunately, it seems that the only way to end the shutdown would be a new election or the parties reaching a compromise on funding.
