The U.S. Senate\u2019s latest vote to pass a stopgap funding bill to end the\u00a0partial federal government shutdown<\/a>\u00a0failed on Oct. 9. That means shutdown, which started Oct. 1, will continue.<\/p>\n

The Senate did not pass dueling bills<\/a> authored by Republicans and Democrats.\u00a0The Republican-backed measure, which would restore government funding until Nov. 21, was defeated by a vote of 54-45. It needed 60 votes to pass.<\/p>\n

The Democrat proposal, which would add health care funding, lost by a vote of 50-47.<\/p>\n

In all seven votes, a majority of 55 senators have voted in favor of the Republican bill, mostly along partisan lines with a few important defections. That vote-breaking is unlikely to change; no additional Democrats<\/a> have said they would support the measure, USA TODAY reports.<\/p>\n

The Senate votes came as President\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0warned he\u00a0could block furloughed federal workers<\/a>\u00a0from receiving back pay once this shutdown is over. That’s a major departure from previous shutdowns.<\/p>\n

The layoffs of federal workers<\/a> have begun, the White House says..<\/p>\n

The\u00a0shutdown began on Oct. 1,<\/a>\u00a0the start of fiscal year 2026, after Senate Republicans failed to win enough Democratic support on a short-term funding measure that would keep federal agencies open through Nov. 21.<\/p>\n

Democrats want a permanent extension of enhanced premium tax credits to help Americans purchase private health insurance<\/a> through the Affordable Care Act. They also want written assurances that the White House will not try to unilaterally cancel spending agreed to in any deal.<\/p>\n

How did your senator vote?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Republicans want the government funded at current levels and say policy issues, including health care, should be considered separately<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How does 2025 shutdown compare to others?<\/strong><\/p>\n

About 750,000 federal employees ranging from workers at national parks to financial regulators could be furloughed under a shutdown,\u00a0according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office<\/a>. About $400 million in daily compensation could be withheld, USA TODAY reported.<\/p>\n
