On October 22nd, the U.S. federal government's "shutdown" entered its 22nd day, becoming the second longest government "shutdown" event in American history. In Congress, the two parties blamed each other for the crisis.

Republican Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Mike Johnson called the situation "shameful" at a press conference. He accused Democrats of "constantly 'making history', but their reasons are completely wrong."

Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader of the House of Representatives and a Democrat, retorted that it was the Republican Party that caused the increasingly serious health care crisis and should be responsible for the government shutdown.

Analysts and media believe that the core reason for the continued "shutdown" of the U.S. government is that the two parties are deadlocked on the issue of medical insurance and welfare expenditure, and the temporary appropriation bill cannot be passed. On the other hand, the two parties are also using the "shutdown" to advance their respective political agendas, and there is no urgent will to end the "shutdown".
