These Workers Won’t Get Paid Friday if the Government Shutdown Continues
The 2025 shutdown has lasted 21 days with no resolution due to disputes over health care subsidies, tying the second-longest federal closure in U.S. history, officials said.
- At Day 21 the shutdown, which began on Oct. 1, 2025, is now the second-longest in US history, with no end in sight.
- After Congress failed to pass a new budget by Oct. 1, 2025, Senate Democrats refuse to approve a House-passed funding bill until health care subsidies are extended.
- Historical examples show political impasses can drag on, with the 2018-19 shutdown lasting 35 days during President Donald Trump's $5.7 billion border wall demand and costing about $3 billion, or 0.02% of GDP.
- Senate Republicans are headed to the White House to display unity with President Donald Trump while refusing to negotiate on Democratic demands, and House Speaker Mike Johnson warned the spending fight has no resolution in sight.
- If the shutdown continues to Nov. 4, 2025 it would tie the longest shutdown in U.S. history, while should the shutdown reach day 36 it would surpass the 1995-1996 shutdown.
