When will the government shutdown end?

Asked 18 hours ago

Answer

The government shutdown will continue into at least next week, as the Senate has adjourned for the weekend and no negotiations or votes are scheduled. Both parties remain entrenched, and there is little sense of urgency or movement toward a resolution.
