when will government shutdown happen

The US government shutdown is expected to happen at midnight on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, into Wednesday, October 1, 2025, if Congress does not reach an agreement on a spending bill to fund government operations. Without a deal, many federal government services will be temporarily suspended, and some federal employees could face layoffs or furloughs. The shutdown could be the first in nearly seven years, with Republicans holding the majority in Congress but lacking enough votes in the Senate to pass the funding bill without Democratic support. Negotiations have been ongoing, but as of the latest reports, no consensus has been reached to avert the shutdown.
