Panic in the USA: 2025 is coming to an end, and the government shutdown continues
10 november 2025 в 17:37
The government shutdown in 2025 gradually spread panic throughout the United States as it continued to drag on. As of October 1st, certain services were affected as Republican and Democratic lawmakers fought for a compromise on the financial bill. Now, with flights being cut back before the holiday season, travelers have expressed concern, while others have wondered if their SNAP benefits and medical care are at risk. Finally, a group of eight Democrats joined Republicans on a new proposal that would effectively end the government shutdown — provided that the House of Representatives approves the bill.
Among the eight Democrats who voted to approve the new legislation on November 9th was Senator Tim Kaine, who spoke to reporters that night from the Capitol Hill.
«I have long said that in order to earn my vote, we need to be on a path to fixing the Republican healthcare mess and protecting federal workers», - Kaine said, according to The Hill. «This bill will protect federal workers from unjustified firings, reinstate those who were wrongfully terminated during the shutdown, and provide federal workers with back pay as required by the law I passed in 2019. This is a critically important step that will help federal employees and all Americans who rely on government services».
However, other Democrats disagreed with their colleagues' vote because the deal with Republicans did not guarantee an extension of certain healthcare benefits. Senator Bernie Sanders stated in a video that it was a «very bad vote».
Below is the latest information on when the House is expected to vote on ending the government shutdown.
In 2025, the government shutdown has no definite end in sight. More than 40 days after the shutdown began, it is the longest shutdown in American history, due to the deadlock between Democrats and Republicans.
After the Senate adjourned late on the evening of November 9th, House members were informed that votes on government funding are expected this week. While the Senate approves this new agreement, the House may vote on funding this week.
The eight Democrats who reached an agreement with Senate Republicans are John Fetterman from Pennsylvania, Catherine Cortez Masto from Nevada, Jacky Rosen from Nevada, Dick Durbin from Illinois, Jeanne Shaheen from New Hampshire, Maggie Hassan from New Hampshire, and Tim Kaine from Virginia.
Independent Angus King from Maine also voted in favor of the agreement with the Democrats
