Senate Democrats Reject GOP-led Funding Stopgap for 11th Time

There were no immediate signs of an offramp as the shutdown enters a fourth week

Senate Democrats on Monday rejected a GOP-led stopgap funding bill for the 11th time as the shutdown heads into its fourth week.

Senators voted 50-43 on the House-passed bill, which would fund the government through Nov. 21. Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Sen. Angus King (I-ME) were the only senators who broke rank to vote to advance the bill. Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) did not vote.

GOP leadership and the White House signaled hope Monday that the shutdown could soon come to an end after this weekend’s “No Kings” rallies. But Democrats have repeatedly denied that their shutdown posture was related to the protests, and there are no immediate signs that lawmakers are nearing an offramp.
