Government shutdown becomes longest in U.S. history after failed Senate vote

The current U.S. government shutdown has become the longest in history, surpassing the previous record from late 2018 to early 2019.

It ended on the 35th day when President Trump signed a three-week funding extension at 9:23 p.m.

The shutdown spanned the transition from daylight saving time to standard time, effectively passing the previous record an hour earlier.

Government shutdowns in their modern form began in 1980, following legal rulings that agencies cannot spend without congressional approval, The Guardian has reported.

Since then, there have been 15 shutdowns, including this one.
