For the 14th time in a row, Democrats in the Senate did not vote for the adoption of a bill to finance the US Government
Republicans in American The Senate is trying to end the blockade of the US Government, the longest in history, by preparing a new package of laws on consumption, hoping Democrats will vote for him.
For the 14th time in a row, the Democrats in the Senate did not vote for the adoption of the draft law on government financing that was previously approved by the House of Representatives. They also walked out of a second caucus meeting this week, with little chance of a compromise with Republicans on how to end the blockade, AP writes.
The US government shutdown became the longest in history on Wednesday, entering its 36th day.
There is no sign of a solution to the crisis, while Republicans and Democrats in the Senate still cannot agree on new funding for closed federal agencies.
The shutdown surpassed the previous record of 35 days set during a president's first term Donald Trump between December 2018 and January 2019, after the Upper House on Tuesday rejected a funding bill passed by the House of Representatives.
Ending the shutdown will require both parties in the Senate to reach a compromise that Trump will sign.
The US government shutdown began on October 1, after negotiations over federal spending priorities broke down. Thousands of federal workers have since been furloughed or working without pay, while government services have been cut or suspended.
Trump refuses to negotiate with Democrats on their demands to save subsidies for health insurance insurance, until they, as requested, agree to unblock the work of the US Government.
But skeptical Democrats doubt Trump will actually keep his word, especially after his administration cut food aid despite court orders to keep the funds available to prevent famine.
Trump's approach to this government shutdown is markedly different from his first term in office, when the government was partially shut down for 35 days over his demands for funding for the US border wall. Mexico.
He then negotiated with Congressional leaders, but after failing to secure funding, he relented in 2019.
This time, it's not just Trump who is refusing to participate in negotiations, but also congressional leaders, and House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, sent lawmakers home in September after they approved their budget proposal, rejecting further negotiations.
