Senate Blocks Both Stopgaps, Leaving U.S. Days From a Potential Shutdown

With both stopgaps rejected, a Senate recess until Sept. 29 leaves only days to act before the Oct. 1 deadline.

Overview

  • The House approved a Republican continuing resolution 217–212 to fund the government through Nov. 21, sending the measure to the Senate.
  • Senators rejected both party proposals, with the GOP plan drawing 44 votes and a Democratic alternative failing 47–45, short of the 60 needed to advance.
  • The Senate is not scheduled to return until Sept. 29, narrowing options to a last‑minute vote as the Oct. 1 funding lapse nears.
  • President Donald Trump said a shutdown is possible and expressed doubt that the Republican measure can secure enough support in the Senate.
  • Democratic leaders sought a meeting with Trump to protect health funding, even as the party remains split over whether to back the House GOP bill.
