The U.S. House of Representatives passes a procedural vote, and the U.S. government may end the shutdown as soon as today.

According to Jin Shi, the U.S. House of Representatives has cleared a key procedural hurdle, paving the way for a full House vote on the funding bill that has already passed in the Senate to end the government shutdown.

As the government shutdown enters its 43rd day, House members pushed the bill to the next stage on Wednesday with a vote result of 213 in favor and 209 against. The funding bill will now undergo an hour of debate before the final vote. The White House stated earlier that Trump hopes to sign the bill to end the government shutdown tonight (Beijing time Thursday morning). #美国政府停摆
