(NEXSTAR) — Tuesday marks the 14th day since the federal government shutdown for the 21st time in the last five decades, and there appears to be no end in sight.

The Senate is expected to vote Tuesday evening on the House-passed continuing resolution to fund the government, The Hill reports. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has set the single vote for 5:30 p.m. ET.

Democrats in the Senate will not have the opportunity to vote on their government funding measure. Instead, they can only vote for or against the House GOP-drafted bill that would fund the government through Nov. 21, according to The Hill.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), meanwhile, has canceled previously scheduled votes and said Monday that the current shutdown is on track to be the longest in history.

But is it?
