when was the longest government shutdown

The longest government shutdown in U.S. history lasted 35 days, from December 22, 2018, to January 25, 2019. This shutdown occurred during President Donald Trump's first term and was triggered by a budget impasse over funding for a border wall. During this period, about 800,000 federal employees were furloughed, and many government services were disrupted, costing the economy billions of dollars. This shutdown surpassed the previous record of 21 days set in 1995-1996.
