Bosch was a favorite to win.

She made headlines earlier this month when she walked out of a live-streamed pre-pageant event after being berated by an executive, who later apologized.

In the lead up to the final, two of the eight judges abruptly quit on the same day.

One of them accused the Miss Universe organization of creating a secretive informal jury to rig the competition.

which it has denied.

And in the preliminary rounds, one contestant was hospitalized after falling off the stage.

As Bosch began her reign, organizers announced that next year's contest will be held in Puerto Rico.

The previous shutdown record was 35 days from December 2018 to January 2019.

This one has no end in sight.

Congress is locked in a stalemate over expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies, which Democrats want to extend.

The majority GOP Senate has tried and failed 14 times to pass a bill that would fund the government.

There have been 20 lapses in government funding since the creation of the modern budget process in the 1970s, but very few of them have led to shutdowns lasting more than a few days.

Multi-week shutdowns have only happened more recently,

in 1996, 2013, 2018, and now 2025.
