On October 28, local time, the U.S. Senate voted 54 to 45 and once again failed to pass a procedural vote to advance the Fiscal Year 2025 Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act aimed at ending the government shutdown.
The bill, passed by the House of Representatives, is intended to temporarily restore government operations at the current funding level, requiring 60 votes in the Senate to advance.This is the 13th vote for the bill, and still does not reach the required threshold, meaning the government shutdown will continue.
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.
