U.S. Senate Fails to Advance Bill to End Government Shutdown

According to BlockBeats, the U.S. Senate has once again failed to advance the "Fiscal Year 2025 Continuing Appropriations and Extension Act," aimed at ending the ongoing government shutdown. The procedural vote, held on October 28 local time, resulted in a 54-45 outcome, falling short of the 60 votes needed to proceed. This marks the 13th attempt to pass the bill, which had previously been approved by the House of Representatives. The proposed legislation seeks to temporarily restore government operations at current funding levels. The continued inability to reach the necessary threshold means the government shutdown will persist.
