The next key vote to reopen the U.S. federal government is expected on Tuesday, February 3, 2026 , when the House of Representatives plans to hold floor votes on a funding package that would end the current partial shutdown.

What is scheduled and when?

  • House leaders have indicated they aim for a decisive vote on the funding bill Tuesday , following consideration in the House Rules Committee on Monday.
  • This vote is designed to approve a package that would reopen most shuttered federal agencies and extend funding for the Department of Homeland Security for a short period (about two weeks) while immigration negotiations continue.
  • Until that vote occurs and passes both chambers, the partial shutdown is expected to continue at least through Tuesday.

What the vote would do

  • Restore funding for multiple departments, including Defense, Transportation, Health and Human Services, Education, Labor and others, for the rest of the current fiscal year.
  • Provide temporary DHS funding to keep immigration and border-related operations running while Congress keeps negotiating over enforcement policies.

Political dynamics to know

  • The agreement reflects a bipartisan deal already passed by the Senate, but it still faces resistance from some conservative House Republicans and skepticism from some Democrats over immigration provisions.
  • Speaker Mike Johnson has a very narrow GOP majority , so he may need near-unanimous Republican support, since Democrats have signaled they are not inclined to help fast‑track the bill procedurally.
  • If the House passes the package Tuesday and the process moves smoothly, the shutdown could end shortly afterward, but if the vote fails or is delayed, the shutdown could continue past this week.
