On October 20, local time, the U.S. Senate voted on the government appropriations bill for the 11th time, but it was still not passed. Therefore, the U.S. government's "shutdown" that began on October 1 continued.
The bill, originally planned to extend government funding until Nov. 21, ultimately missed the 60-vote threshold required for passage with 50 votes in favor and 43 votes against.
Due to the huge differences between the Republican and Democratic parties in the United States on core issues such as medical-related welfare spending, the Senate failed to pass a new interim appropriations bill before the end of the previous fiscal year on September 30, resulting in the federal government's use of funds to maintain normal operations.,"shutdown" began on October 1.
