Democratic leaders face pressure from unions and officials as the government shutdown hits Day 36, impacting unpaid military and air traffic personnel, with funding deadline looming.

  • Today, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer said another vote kept the government shutdown, which Senate officials said will reach a new world record.
  • As negotiations stalled, Democrats noted the House CR served as the Democratic baseline, and Senate minority leader John Thune said `we've lost five weeks`.
  • Critical workers, including air traffic controllers and military personnel, are working without pay while food stamp programs lack funds, and traditionally Democratic unions blame leadership.
  • Public pressure is mounting as blame grows and predictions of Democratic defections rise, with three defections led by Senator John Fetterman challenging Democratic leaders.
  • With funding limited to November 21, lawmakers must vote in both chambers to change the deadline and could extend funding to year's end or January.
