The U.S. federal government shutdown has broken the historical record!

The partial shutdown of the U.S. federal government that began at midnight on October 1, 2025, is the longest in the country's history, breaking the previous record set during the first term of the president in 2018-2019, which lasted 34 days, 21 hours, and 23 minutes.

As of 20:24 local time on November 4, the bill allowing funding to resume federal government operations had still not been approved by Congress. Considering that the United States entered daylight saving time on November 2, the government shutdown has reached 34 days, 21 hours, and 24 minutes, thus breaking the historical record.
