The government shutdown<\/a> has spanned 38 days, making it the longest federal shuttering in United States history, surpassing the standoff during President Trump\u2019s first term.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lawmakers in Washington have remained deadlocked over the House-authored continuing resolution (CR), which Senate Democrats have voted against 14 times.\u00a0But Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said Saturday that the upper chamber will remain in session<\/a> until a deal is reached.<\/p>\n

With the Senate filibuster rule requiring 60 votes to pass legislation, the minority party has blocked the CR in the hope of extending Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium subsidies for at least a year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

GOP senators say the topic should be tabled until after the government is reopened, leaving Congress at an impasse until one side folds. President Trump has pressed party members<\/a> to do away with the filibuster, even as Thune objects to the idea.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether we make a Deal or not, THE REPUBLICANS MUST \u2018BLOW UP\u2019 THE FILIBUSTER, AND APPROVE HUNDREDS OF LONG SOUGHT, BUT NEVER GOTTEN, POLICY WINS LIKE, AS JUST A SMALL EXAMPLE, VOTER ID (IDENTIFICATION),\u201d the president wrote<\/a> in a Saturday Truth Social post. <\/p>\n

\u201cOnly a LOSER would not agree to doing this!\u201d<\/p>\n

Several ideas have been tossed around by Republicans to end the stalemate, including Sen. Lindsey Graham\u2019s (R-S.C.) proposed bill<\/a> that seeks to lower rising health care costs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Graham is scheduled to make an appearance on Fox News\u2019s “Sunday Morning Futures” and could share more about his plan to move negotiations forward in the upper chamber.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) will also share his perspective during the show. <\/p>\n

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) is expected to appear on \u201cFox News Sunday\u201d and can speak to the dialogue within the Republican conference as polls show Americans blaming the GOP<\/a> for the federal shutdown. Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) could do the same for the Democratic conference during his Sunday appearance on NBC\u2019s \u201cMeet the Press.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amid the funding impasse, it’s unclear when Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funds, also known as food stamps, will be distributed after the Supreme Court temporarily halted<\/a> a lower court order requiring the Trump administration make full November payments.<\/p>\n

Travelers have also been forced to deal with flight delays and cancellations as air traffic controllers begin to call out after missing weeks of pay. More than 1,000 flights<\/a> across the country were canceled as of Friday morning<\/a>, as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and airlines look to deal with staffing shortages<\/a> exacerbated by the shutdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy will appear on \u201cFox News Sunday\u201d and CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union,” where he could speak to the state of air travel after the FAA announced an initial flight reduction<\/a> of 4 percent at 40 major airports starting on Friday. The decrease could eventually increase to 10 percent if the shutdown drags on until Nov. 14.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And while the shutdown drags on, Democrats are celebrating election wins<\/a> in New York, New Jersey, Virginia and elsewhere after voters turned out for the party on Tuesday to elect Zohran Mamdani (D) mayor of New York City, Rep. Mikie Sherrill governor of New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger governor of Virginia. The two governors-elect are both set to appear Sunday on CBS\u2019s \u201cFace the Nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exit polls showed affordability was a top priority for those casting ballots.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin, who is slated to appear on \u201cFox News Sunday,” has shared hopes to build on the momentum heading into next year’s midterm elections.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I ran for chair, I promised to get the DNC out of DC and invest in the people and state parties doing the work on the ground,\u201d Martin wrote in a Tuesday post<\/a> on the social platform X. \u201cLast night\u2019s victories are a testament to what our party can do when we come together, reconnect with voters, and organize.”<\/p>\n
