The U.S. federal government shutdown, now in its 13th day as of October 13, 2025, stems from a partisan clash over extending Affordable Care Act subsidies and passing a clean funding bill. Democrats have blocked multiple Senate votes on a Republican-proposed continuing resolution, insisting on protections against rising health care premiums. Polls show voters blame Republicans more for the impasse, yet trust them more on economic issues.
