US Senate blocks Republican spending bill to end government shutdown

The US Senate on Monday rejected a House-passed Republican stopgap funding bill to end an ongoing government shutdown, AzVision.az reports, citing BBC.

By a vote of 52-42, the Senate did not invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to the continuing resolution as the government shutdown continued for a sixth day.

Senators voting in favor included Democrats Catherine Cortez Masto and John Fetterman, as well as Independent Angus King. Rand Paul was the only Republican to vote against.

Earlier, the Senate rejected a Democrat bill to extend government funding by a vote of 45-50.
