Here's how long the government shutdown could go on

This shutdown is expected to last at least three days, as the Senate isn't likely to hold any votes until at least Oct. 3. So, how long could this shutdown last? For example, the country saw a monthlong government shutdown, the longest in U.S. history, during Trump's first term. The bill failed in a 55-45 vote—the same as Tuesday's vote—and 60 votes are needed to advance it. Three Democratic caucus members voted with Republicans on the bill: Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), Sen. Angus King (Maine), an independent, and Sen. John Fetterman (Pa.).
