The government has officially shut down, as Congress and the White House could not come to an agreement on a continuing resolution that would fund the government through Nov. 21.

A vote in the Senate scheduled on Tuesday on funding legislation was rejected. It was the last chance to keep the lights on before a midnight deadline.

The government shutdown could have a lasting impact on those beyond government workers and contractors in the D.C. area.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said on the eve of the Senate vote that while the District does not rely on the federal government to perform basic operations, “We are impacted because many of our residents and the residents in Maryland and Virginia have a lot of anxiety about what it means for their next paycheck or what it means for their job.”
