Overview

• A Republican stopgap previously passed by the House drew 52 votes in the Senate with 42 opposed, falling below the 60-vote threshold.
• A Democratic proposal received 45 votes with 50 opposed, so it also failed to advance according to C‑SPAN roll calls.
• Federal funding lapsed on October 1, resulting in a partial shutdown that continues into a sixth day.
• Lawmakers remain split over spending priorities, including healthcare, which has stalled a bipartisan agreement.
• The White House says President Trump is confident in the Republican position as Senate leaders consider further options.
