The Senate is expected to vote on Thursday for the 10th time on a budget package but most signs point to the shutdown continuing into next week.

A prolonged shutdown of the U.S. government amid a standoff over funding between Republicans and Democrats in Congress could dent economic growth in the fourth quarter, but much of the lost output would be recovered when normal operations resume.

The federal government officially entered a shutdown at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday amid an impasse on Capitol Hill over competing congressional spending bills.

The stopgap bill, which would extend government funding until Nov. 21, was defeated after a 49-45 vote. It required 60 votes to pass and has now extended the shutdown to two weeks. The Senate will reconvene and vote again on Oct. 15, marking the ninth voting session on the funding bill.

Additionally, Trump has ensured that federal immigration agents, U.S. Border Patrol officers, FBI special agents and active-duty military personnel continue receiving paychecks during the government shutdown, even as hundreds of thousands of civilian federal workers are furloughed or are working without pay.

The U.S. economy remains largely unscathed by the government shutdown, but the nation could risk economic peril if the impasse deepens into a long-term standoff, some economists told ABC News.

As the shutdown stretches into its 20th day, air traffic controllers, SNAP recipients, and federal employees are feeling the impact.
