WASHINGTON (AA) - The US Senate on Thursday failed to advance funding bills to end the government shutdown for the seventh time.
By a vote of 54-45, the Senate did not invoke cloture on the motion to move forward on a House-passed Republican measure to fund the government until Nov. 21.
The Senate also did not invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to a continuing resolution, or government funding, by the Democrats.
