The United States woke up on Wednesday, October 1, to a government shutdown, the first since 2018, after Democrats and Republicans failed to reach an agreement on continued funding for government programs and services.

It is important to note that the government shutdown occurred because the Democratic Party in the Senate rejected a final Republican funding proposal.
