Shutdown Day 35: Hopeful talk, but still no deal
The U.S. government shutdown has become the longest on record, surpassing 35 days. The Senate failed to pass a short-term spending bill to reopen the government for the 14th time.
The federal government shutdown is moving into its sixth week.
"I think there are people who realize this has gone on long enough, and there's been enough pain inflicted on the American people and it's time to end it,"said Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.).
Thune expressed hope that bipartisan negotiators were "close" to reaching a deal, but acknowledged the challenges. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) also participated in the discussions.
