Four ways US government shutdown could end

The US government shutdown could end in four possible scenarios. Democrats may break ranks due to political pressure, prompting a swift resolution. Alternatively, if Democrats stay united, they might eventually back down as the shutdown's effects intensify. On the other hand, Republicans, currently in a perceived position of strength, could make concessions to end the shutdown, avoiding public backlash. Ultimately, the longer the shutdown persists, the more both parties stand to lose.
