The U.S. Senate will vote on the appropriations bill for the 13th time to end the government shutdown

The U.S. Senate will vote for the 13th time on the "clean" version of the government appropriations bill passed by the House of Representatives, which aims to temporarily restore government operations at current funding levels. This procedural motion has been rejected 12 times in a row in the Senate, as it requires at least 60 votes (including support from some Democratic members) to pass. It is expected that this 13th vote will fail again. Several Senate Democrats reportedly stated that the government shutdown will be difficult to end unless President Trump personally participates in the negotiations. (Jinshi)
