The government shutdown stretches into Day 35 on Tuesday as the Senate prepares to vote for a 14th time on a House-passed measure to reopen the government. Follow live updates here.
The Senate is expected to vote again Tuesday on a House-passed measure to fund the government after the measure fell short for a 13th time last week. Republicans have been seeking to peel off Democratic support for the measure, which requires 60 votes to advance, for weeks.
With 53 Republicans in the chamber, they need support from across the aisle to end the shutdown. But there's been no movement since the shutdown began, with three senators repeatedly breaking with their party to support the GOP-led measure, while one Republican has opposed it. The measure would fund the government until Nov. 21. But Senate Majority Leader John Thune has said that date will have to change to allow more time for work on year-long appropriations bills. He indicated to reporters Monday that doing so would require House lawmakers to return to Washington to reopen the government.'I think that would be the objective here, is to try and get something that we could send back to the House that would open up the government,' Thune said. On the Nov. 21 deadline for funding, the South Dakota Republican added that 'the date's going to have to change.' 'That date's lost,' Thune said. 'So it's a question now of what the next date is.'The majority leader said there are procedural maneuvers for changing the date in the House bill, but doing so would require consent from all senators or at least 60 votes, meaning at least five more Democrats would need to be on board. — Kaia Hubbard and Alan He
