Last year’s shutdown over expiring health insurance subsidies lasted 43 days before ending on Nov. 12, 2025.
And after last week’s funding deal for the DHS stalled hours before Congress’ scheduled recess, the shutdown is prolonged even further.
Funding lapsed for DHS back on Feb. 14, and a bill to fund parts of the department made it through the Senate last week but then collapsed in the House.
The stalled deal shows a rare disconnect between the two Republican leaders in Congress, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune.
On Friday, Johnson angrily rebuked the plan that the Senate had unanimously agreed to as a "joke."
Congress began its two-week spring recess on Monday, where senators and representatives head back to their homebase for state and district work.
While they’ll be away from the capitol, behind-the-scenes conversations will likely still be happening to work a deal.
Axios reporter Kate Santaliz joins LiveNOW's Andy Mac to discuss.
