US Senate rejects funding bill for 11th time, stalling government shutdown resolution

By Diyar Guldogan

WASHINGTON (AA) - The US Senate on Monday blocked a stopgap funding measure for the 11th time, failing to advance legislation that would reopen the federal government.

By a vote of 50-43, the Senate did not invoke cloture on the motion to move forward on a House-passed measure to fund the government until Nov. 21.

The bill has failed to reach the 60-vote threshold in each attempt so far, with no indication that the outcome will be different the next time.
