US-POLITICS-CONGRESS

US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Republican from Louisiana, speaks with reporters as he walks from the House Chamber to his office at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, on February 3, 2026. The US House of Representatives is set to vote on Tuesday on a spending bill to end the partial government shutdown sparked by fury among Democrats over funding for the federal agency carrying out President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. A final vote on the funding package is expected around 1:00 pm (1800 GMT) in the lower chamber, where Republicans have a razor-thin majority. (Photo by ROBERTO SCHMIDT / AFP via Getty Images)
