US Senate Fails to Pass Temporary Funding Bill Again, Prolonging Government Shutdown

The U.S. Senate on Monday once again did not pass a House bill aimed at temporarily funding the federal government, intensifying the ongoing funding impasse.

Republicans, who have control over both chambers of Congress, and Democrats remained at a standstill regarding the terms of a funding agreement as the government shutdown stretched into its sixth day.

The vote tally, 52-42, was mostly divided along party lines, mirroring the outcomes of the previous four votes on the same bill.

The proposed bill would have extended government funding through November 21. On Monday, the Senate also rejected a separate plan from House Democrats intended to temporarily fund government operations, as anticipated.

To advance the legislation, Republican senators require at least eight votes from Democratic caucus members to meet the 60-vote threshold.

Thus far, the only Democratic caucus members to support the House resolution are John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, and Angus King of Maine, an independent aligned with the Democrats.

These three senators once again sided with Republicans on Monday evening, while Senator Rand Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, voted with Democrats against the measure.

Earlier on Monday, President Donald Trump indicated that another unsuccessful vote could lead to layoffs within the federal workforce. However, he noted that discussions were ongoing with Democrats to address their demands for continued Obamacare subsidies beyond the end of the year.
