No End in Sight to US Shutdown Despite Trump Pressure

The Senate's sixth failed vote prolongs a shutdown impacting 750,000 federal workers amid disputes over healthcare subsidies and government funding, officials said.

  • Wednesday, October 8, 2025, the U.S. Senate failed for a sixth time to pass a stopgap, leaving the federal government shutdown in its second week.
  • A dispute over health care is driving the deadlock, with expiring ACA subsidies central to Democrats' demands while Republicans insist on a clean funding bill.
  • Roughly 750,000 federal workers face furloughs, causing missed paychecks, flight delays, and disrupted airports and federal programs, according to a Congressional Budget Office analysis last week.
  • President Donald Trump threatens mass firings and back pay cuts as public pressure grows, with a Harvard-Harris poll showing 65 percent of voters want Democrats to accept a continuing resolution.
  • With the 2026 midterm elections looming, Democrats are privately preparing for a longer shutdown as the White House cites nearly $200 billion in proposed costs, and Republicans resist extending subsidies expiring on December 31.
