**[U.S. Government Shutdown Enters Day 36, Setting a New Record for Longest in History]** BlockBeats reports that on November 5, as the U.S. Eastern Time officially entered November 5, the U.S. federal government shutdown has reached its 36th day, breaking the record for the longest shutdown in history. The previous record was a 35-day shutdown from late 2018 to early 2019. The stalemate between the Democratic and Republican parties continues, with 13 votes in the Senate failing to pass a temporary funding bill proposed by the Republicans. The U.S. Congressional Budget Office previously stated that depending on the duration of the federal government shutdown, the annual growth rate of the U.S. real GDP in the fourth quarter is expected to decrease by one to two percentage points. This means that a 4-week shutdown would result in a $7 billion loss to the U.S. economy; a 6-week shutdown would increase the loss to $11 billion; and an 8-week shutdown would lead to a staggering $14 billion loss.
