The country is also in the midst of a government shutdown that could soon become the longest in U.S. history. Flight delays are mounting as air traffic controllers work without pay, and federal food and nutrition benefits, known as SNAP, were halted over the weekend. (The Trump administration said Monday it will abide by a court order to partially fund the program using money set aside for emergencies.) A slight majority of Americans blame Republicans for the shutdown, although 42% think congressional Democrats are at fault.
