• Democrats opposed the measure over the absence of an extension for expiring Affordable Care Act premium tax credits and related health-care provisions.
• Sens. John Fetterman, Catherine Cortez Masto, and independent Angus King voted with Republicans, but the defections were insufficient to reach 60 votes.
• Senate Majority Leader John Thune said more votes on the same bill are planned and argued Democrats are putting partisan priorities over governing.
• Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blamed Republicans and President Trump for pushing a partisan approach and called for talks on a bipartisan funding plan.
