U.S. Senate Again Veto Temporary Appropriations Bill, Government Shutdown Continues
On the morning of October 1st local time, the U.S. Senate voted on a temporary appropriations bill proposed by Democrats, and finally failed to pass the bill with 47 votes in favor and 53 votes against.
Subsequently, the Senate voted on a temporary appropriations bill proposed by Republicans to extend federal government funding until the end of November. It is reported that this bill had already passed in the House of Representatives late on September 30th, and received support from several Democratic Congress members during the voting process.
However, due to the Democrats' insistence on requirements related to healthcare, the Republicans' bill received 55 votes in favor but did not reach the required 60 votes for passage, thus extinguishing the hope of quickly ending the federal government "shutdown."
On September 30th, the Senate failed to pass a new temporary appropriations bill before federal government funds ran out. Starting at midnight Eastern Time on October 1st, the federal government shut down again after nearly seven years. This means that approximately 750,000 federal employees will be "furloughed," except for those providing "essential services," and some public services may be suspended or delayed, and the release of economic data will also be affected.
