Day 22 of Government Shutdown Marks 2nd Longest in U.S. History

President Trump met with House Republican leaders on day 21 of the shutdown as talks remain stalled over reopening the government, prolonging the federal closure.

  • On Tuesday, House Republican leaders held a press conference in Washington, D.C., as President Trump met with Republicans and Democrats said they were being boxed out.
  • The shutdown began on October 1, 2025, after Congress failed to pass a new budget, and repeated short-term funding votes failed as Democrats demand health care negotiations.
  • The federal government shutdown that began on October 1, 2025, is now the second-longest in U.S. history, and if it continues until Nov. 5, it would become the longest-ever shutdown.
  • The House of Representatives has been out for four consecutive weeks while moderate Republicans urged Speaker Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House to address expiring Obamacare tax credits, and federal workers face missing another paycheck.
  • Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer urged President Trump not to travel to Asia later this week without negotiating, but the President said Tuesday he will meet only if the government reopens.
