US EditionDemocrats vote down GOP funding bill, putting government on path to shutdown
The shutdown disrupts services and furloughs about 750,000 federal workers as Republicans reject Democratic demands to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, officials said.
- U.S. Senators voted 55-45 against a Republican stopgap funding bill, leading to a partial government shutdown at 12:01 a.m. on October 1, 2025, marking the first shutdown in six years.
- During the shutdown, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that about 750,000 federal employees could be furloughed each day, costing $400 million daily in compensation.
- Almost all Democrats voted against the Continuing Resolution mainly because it excluded essential healthcare provisions, including the Obamacare Premium Tax Credit, impacting nearly 750,000 federal employees.
- Polls indicate that a majority of voters oppose the government shutdown, with 65% responding negatively when asked if Democrats should cease funding if their demands are unmet.
