Now on day 35, the U.S. government shutdown ties the record for the longest ever as the administration says it will only partially fund food assistance that tens of millions of Americans rely on.

The federal government shutdown reached day 35 on Tuesday, tying the longest in U.S. history as lawmakers remain deadlocked over funding.

As millions of Americans cast ballots for a still-shuttered system, the shutdown grows closer to a new record.

The current shutdown began just after midnight on Oct. 1 after Congress failed to pass a new budget, marking the fourth shutdown during a Trump presidency.

The U.S. Senate failed on its 14th and latest vote to end the government shutdown on Nov. 4, extending it to 35 days, tying – and positioning it to exceed – the stand-alone record set during President Donald Trump ’s first term in 2019.

At 34 days, this government shutdown is now tied as the longest in U.S. history. This year’s shutdown affects all government agencies and statistical services, whereas previous shutdowns were only partial since some agencies were funded by Congress.

The ongoing government shutdown has reached a historic length, with limited dialogue between Democrats and Republicans, affecting millions of Americans reliant on federal assistance.

Dick Cheney, the hard-charging conservative who became one of the most powerful and polarizing vice presidents in U.S. history and a leading advocate for the invasion of Iraq, has died at age 84.

The Trump administration on Thursday announced it would set the lowest refugee admissions cap in U.S. history at 7,500 spots.
