The 2025 shutdown is a few days shy of the record set by the 2018-2019 shutdown, which lasted 35 days and took place during President Trump&#8217;s first administration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On Sept. 19, the House <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/house-vote-government-shutdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">passed a measure<\/a><\/span> that would have kept the government running through Nov. 21, but the bill failed to make it out of the GOP-led Senate the same day. Since government funding lapsed on Oct. 1, the Senate has held a number of votes, but Republicans have not been able to garner the support they need from Democrats to advance the bill.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the government shutdown by the numbers:<\/p>\n<h2>13: Number of times the Senate has held failed votes to end the shutdown<\/h2>\n<p>Since just before the shutdown began on Oct. 1, the Senate has voted 13 times on a House-passed resolution to fund the government until Nov. 21. There are 53 Republicans in the Senate, 45 Democrats and two independents who caucus with the Democrats. When all senators are present, there have been 55 votes in favor of funding the government, five short of the 60 needed to move the bill forward.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate, which has 100 senators, requires only a simple majority to pass most legislation. But the Senate&#8217;s filibuster rule effectively requires nearly all legislation \u2014 including the continuing resolution to temporarily fund the government \u2014 to reach a 60-vote threshold first. A single senator may delay a bill during debate by invoking a filibuster, which can only be ended if a supermajority of 60 senators vote to end debate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>52: Senate Republicans supporting resolution to fund the government and end the shutdown<\/h2>\n<h2>43: Senate Democrats\/independent opposed, plus 1 Republican<\/h2>\n<p>GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky is the lone Republican joining most Democratic senators in voting against advancing the resolution to fund the government. He <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SenRandPaul\/status\/1981083727473033546\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">opposes<\/a> the measure because it adds to the nation&#8217;s rising debt.<\/p>\n<h2>3: Senate Democrats\/independent supporting resolution to fund the government and end the shutdown<\/h2>\n<p>Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada have voted with Republicans in support of the measure, as has independent Sen. Angus King of Maine.<\/p>\n<h2>5: Number of senators necessary to change their votes to advance the resolution<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;We need five Democrats to show a little courage,&#8221; Senate Majority Leader John Thune said on Oct. 23, a day after the 12th vote failed. &#8220;Reopen the government and let&#8217;s get to work.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>42 million: The number of people who will lose food stamp benefits on Nov. 1<\/h2>\n<p>Roughly 42 million Americans rely on <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/snap-benefits-food-stamps-november-shutdown\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">food stamps<\/a><\/span> that arrive every month on their electronic benefit transfer cards, according to data from the USDA.
