Senate rejects dueling government funding bills on Day 6 of shutdown

The Senate failed to advance competing funding bills due to partisan disputes over health care, prolonging the shutdown into its sixth day, with 65% of Americans disapproving, a poll shows.

  • On Monday, Oct. 6, the U.S. Senate failed to pass competing stopgap funding bills to reopen the government, prolonging the shutdown as federal operations remain closed.
  • The impasse centers on Senate Democrats insisting on extending expiring Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, while Senate Republicans push a stopgap funding government only through Nov. 21.
  • Cloture votes showed the Democratic measure lost 45-50 and the Republican bill failed 52-42; John Fetterman, Catherine Cortez Masto and Angus King broke ranks while Sen. Rand Paul opposed both.
  • The White House warned the shutdown may cause mass federal layoffs and strain agency resources if it continues, raising immediate risks for affected federal programs.
  • With Nov. 1 approaching, Senate Republicans need at least eight Democrats to support funding through Nov. 21, while leaders remain split on negotiating health-care changes before or after reopening.
