[U.S. Government Shutdown Enters Day 32, Just 3 Days Away from Longest Record in History] Since October 1, the U.S. federal government shutdown has lasted for 32 days, making it the second-longest government shutdown in U.S. history, just 3 days short of tying the record of 35 days. This shutdown has had widespread impacts on American society, including disruptions to the salaries of over one million U.S. military personnel and food supply difficulties for approximately 42 million Americans in November. However, the deadlock between the two parties remains unresolved. U.S. Vice President Vance stated that the shutdown could last until late November.
