U.S. Senate Democrats veto Republican temporary funding bill, increasing risk of government shutdown
Jinse Finance reported that Senate Democrats in the United States blocked a temporary funding bill proposed by Republicans, which was originally intended to keep government funding through late November. This forces both parties to engage in last-minute negotiations within two weeks to avoid a government shutdown. In the Republican-controlled Senate, the vote was 44 in favor and 48 against, falling short of the 60 votes needed to pass the bill. Rand Paul from Kentucky and Lisa Murkowski from Alaska were the only two Republican senators to vote against the bill, while Democratic Senator John Fetterman voted in favor. Several Republican senators were absent. The Republican-led House of Representatives had narrowly passed the bill earlier that day, and now party leaders must come up with a new plan.
