It ran from Dec. 22, 2018 to Jan. 25, 2019, during the Trump administration. At 34 days, it was the longest government shutdown in history by a significant margin, as most shutdowns in recent decades have lasted two weeks or less.

Congress is running out of time to avert a government shutdown. House Republicans will put up a partisan proposal that does not even have enough votes within their own party.

The U.S. Senate will prepare stopgap spending bill that would avert a looming partial government shutdown, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said on Thursday, as House Republicans offered no hint as to what their next move would be.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced Thursday that he will act later in the day to advance a bipartisan government funding bill after Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) failed to pass a partisan six-month funding measure that was tied to voter registration reform.

Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer on Thursday set up a vote on a stopgap bill in his chamber following the failed attempt to pass a government funding patch out of the House.
