US EditionShutdown Day 6: Senators Return to Washington Amid Government Stalemate
Over 2 million federal workers face suspended pay amid failed funding talks as the Senate prepares to vote again with no clear path to end the shutdown.
- With the shutdown entering its sixth day, the U.S. Senate will reconvene in Washington on Oct. 6 and vote around 5:30 p.m. on government reopening measures.
- Democrats are insisting that Republicans in Congress extend Affordable Care Act subsidies as a condition for funding, but Republicans have rejected these demands and pushed a temporary budget after bipartisan talks last week failed.
- Federal payroll data show pay suspended for roughly 2 million federal workers, roughly 750,000 furloughed, with civilian pay set for Oct. 10 and military pay for Oct. 15.
- Senate voting results show a 54-44 vote, leaving Republicans short of the 60 votes needed, and two competing bills to reopen government are likely to fail absent a deal.
- Industry groups warned flights could slow and President Donald Trump blamed Democrats for `Democrat layoffs`, while the Trump administration cut more than 200,000 federal workers, the Partnership for Public Service reported.
