Update: The Democrats’ proposal failed to pass the US Senate.
The US Senate on Tuesday afternoon voted on measures to avert a looming midnight government shutdown.
The Senate is currently voting on two bills.
The Hill reported:
The Senate is voting on two competing bills to avert a government shutdown at midnight.
The chamber will first vote on a Democratic proposal that pairs a funding extension with health care provisions, then the GOP’s House-passed “clean” stopgap bill.
Both are expected to fail, plunging Washington into its first shutdown in more than five years.
