U.S. Senate Fails to Pass Funding Bills, Government Shutdown Continues

According to BlockBeats, on October 6, the U.S. Senate voted on a funding bill proposed by the Democrats aimed at ending the government shutdown. The bill was rejected with 45 votes in favor and 50 against. Subsequently, the Senate also voted on a temporary funding bill proposed by the Republicans, which similarly failed to reach the required threshold for approval. As both bills were rejected, the government shutdown will persist.
