Posts Older than 3 Days Not Showing

Alright, racked my brain on this one and I’m coming up short. Using a custom post type for the company’s Government Affairs section. For some reason, posts older than 3 days will not show up. Recently tried resetting the query (even though it’s the first one on the page). Any help would be amazing. Thanks.

<?php
	if(is_page('Government Affairs')):
?>
		<?php
			wp_reset_query(); // Reset Query
			// Display Custom Post Type
			$recent = new WP_Query('post_type=govt&posts_per_page=4'); $x=1;
			while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post(); ?>
				<?php $terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'govt-category');
				foreach($terms as $item):
					if($item->slug != "govt_affairs_updates"): ?>
					<div class="post<?=($x%2 ? ' odd':' even')?>"><?php $x++;?>
						<h4><a href="<?=the_permalink()?>"><?=the_title()?></a></h4>
						<span class="author">Posted in <a href="#"><?=custom_post_taxonomy('govt-category')?></a> <?=relative_time()?></span>
						<p><?=the_excerpt()?> <a href="<?=the_permalink()?>" class="more"><?=more_text()?></a></p>
					</div>
					<?php endif; ?>
				<?php endforeach; ?>
		<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php endif; ?>
