On October 28, local time, a reporter from the main station learned that the U.S. Senate will vote for the 13th time on the "clean version" of the government funding bill passed by the House of Representatives, which aims to temporarily resume government operations at the current funding level.

Previously, the procedural motion had been rejected in the Senate 12 consecutive times, because it required at least 60 votes (including the support of some Democratic lawmakers) to pass. It is expected that the 13th vote will still fail.

Several Senate Democrats said the government shutdown would be difficult to end unless President Trump was personally involved in the negotiations.

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.
