The Senate on Monday again rejected Democratic and Republican proposals to fund the government and end the shutdown, now in its sixth day.
The Democrats’ proposal failed by a 45-55 vote and the Republican bill failed by a 52-42 vote. Both needed 60 votes to pass.
Earlier Monday, President Donald Trump said that another failed vote could trigger layoffs in the federal workforce. But he said that there were discussions going on with Democrats to address their demands that Obamacare subsidies be continued past the end of the year.
