The government shutdown has officially become the longest in United States history on Nov. 5 after a 14th Senate vote to end it failed on Tuesday. The government has now been shut down for 36 days, surpassing the previous record-setting government closure in 2019.

The government shutdown on Wednesday entered its 36th day, officially becoming the longest shutdown in U.S. history. That means the two longest shutdowns in American politics have occurred under President Donald Trump, with the previous 35-day record having been set during his first term in 2019.

The Senate failed for the 14th time to advance a bill to end the government shutdown, now the longest in U.S. history.

On Wednesday, the shutdown enters its 36th day, eclipsing the record set during Trump's first term. That 35-day federal closure in late 2018 and early 2019 resulted from a fight over Trump’s demand for a border wall, which Democrats refused to fund.

As the government shutdown stretches its way into the record books, Americans are feeling its worsening impacts.

Signs of a potential end to the government shutdown are intensifying with behind-the-scenes talks. This comes as the federal closure, now in its 35th day, is on track to become the longest ever disrupting the lives of millions of Americans.

The Senate failed for the 14th time to advance House-passed legislation to reopen the government on the day the shutdown tied the longest in history. The 54-44 vote fell short of 60 votes needed under Senate rules to advance the bill that would have provided short-term funding through Nov. 21.

The government shutdown is taking a growing toll on air traffic controllers who are working without pay. Staffing shortages led to big delays over the weekend, raising concerns about travel chaos.
