The federal government closed twice during Trump's first administration. The third shutdown began Oct. 1, 2025, in Trump’s second administration.

The U.S. Senate failed on its 14th and latest vote to end the government shutdown on Nov. 4, extending it to 35 days, tying – and positioning it to exceed – the stand-alone record set during President Donald Trump’s first term in 2019.

The legislation failed 54 to 44. Sixty votes are needed for passage. The Senate's voting results, mostly along partisan lines, were close to a majority of those in the previous 13 attempts. The first vote was taken Sept. 19.

While lawmakers said bipartisan negotiations are picking up, no deal has been reached to end the shutdown, USA TODAY reported.

Trump’s combined shutdowns have already eclipsed the collective record of 56 days, which took place over five shutdowns in three years, during President Jimmy Carter’s administration.

Here’s how Trump’s shutdowns compare:

The federal government closed twice during Trump's first administration. The first, in January 2018, lasted three days. The second, which started Dec. 22, 2018, and ended Jan. 25, 2019, lasted 35 days.

The shutdown started after Trump sought $5.7 billion to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico. The money was supposed to be part of the appropriations bill for fiscal year 2019. Congressional Democrats said the wall funding was unnecessary and refused to approve it.

Trump signed a short-term funding bill that did not include wall funding to end the shutdown.

How close has the Senate come to ending 2025 shutdown?

The 2025 shutdown began on Oct. 1, the start of fiscal year 2026. It began after Senate Republicans failed to win enough Democratic support on a short-term funding measure that would keep federal agencies open through Nov. 21.

Lawmakers have been deadlocked over health care funding and tax credits for the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, that expire at the end of the year.

How many times did Senate vote on shutdowns?

Democrats want the subsidies to be extended before enrollment begins Nov. 1. Democrats also want written assurances that the White House will not try to unilaterally cancel spending agreed to in any deal, according to Reuters.

The shutdown will not end until a compromise is formed on health care funding and other disputed matters, or until at least 60 senators vote to extend the stopgap bill. The GOP holds a 53-47 Senate majority, but 60 votes are needed to advance legislation.
