Will the US again suffer a federal government shutdown? Time is running out for Congress

The US Congress does its job at the last minute to avoid a shutdown of the federal government.

They must pass a measure before this Friday.

Leaders on both sides agreed, but there is a group of Republicans who reject the bill and demand that funds be withdrawn from President Joe Biden's vaccination mandate.

A closure would not go down well in the midst of the crisis due to the supply chain, the state of the economy, fears about the omicron variant and inflation.
