Digest more
A recent Senate vote to end the government shutdown failed to get the 60 votes needed to pass. Ohio Senators Jon Husted and Bernie Moreno both voted in favor of the failed stopgap funding bill. The current shutdown began on October 1 and is a result of a deadlock over healthcare funding.
The stopgap bill, which would extend government funding until Nov. 21, was defeated after a 49-45 vote. It required 60 votes to pass and has now extended the shutdown to two weeks. The Senate will reconvene and vote again on Oct. 15, marking the ninth voting session on the funding bill.
