Senate fails to advance Democratic CR

The Senate once again failed to advance the Democratic-backed continuing resolution to fund the government on a short-term basis.

The final vote, which fell along party lines as was expected, was 47-53.

The Senate previously shot down both the Democratic proposal and a House-passed Republican alternative on Tuesday night, in a failed 11th-hour bid to avert a shutdown.
