The Senate on Wednesday again rejected dueling Republican and Democratic funding proposals to end the government shutdown, which stretched into its eighth day with no hint of progress toward a resolution.
In a 54-45 vote, the Senate did not advance a GOP-led stopgap bill that would have funded the government through late November. An alternative funding bill backed by Democrats also failed in a 47-52 vote around 12:50 p.m. ET.
The same three senators who have voted with Republicans on previous votes — John Fetterman (D-PA), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), as well as Angus King (I-ME), one of two independents in the caucus — did so again on Wednesday.
