The shutdown is now the longest in U.S. history, surpassing the previous record on Tuesday night. The Senate is not currently scheduled to vote on a House-passed measure to reopen the government today, after it failed to advance for the 14th time on Tuesday.President Trump pressured Republican senators to bring an end to the government shutdown following the Democratic sweep in key elections on Tuesday, saying at a breakfast meeting at the White House that “we must get the government back open soon and really immediately.”Still, the contours of a deal to end the stalemate began emerging Tuesday, and senators expressed cautious optimism that a resolution remains possible this week. What is your take on the shutdown?
