The U.S. Senate on Tuesday again failed to pass a temporary funding bill, marking the 14th unsuccessful attempt.
This means the federal government shutdown is on track to surpass the 35-day record set during the 2018-2019 shutdown and become the longest in U.S. history.
The Republican-held Senate voted 54-44 on the House-approved "clean" continuing resolution, which would fund the government at current levels through Nov 21. The bill needed 60 votes to overcome filibuster and move forward in the upper chamber.
The ongoing shutdown has caused growing disruptions, hitting sectors such as aviation, food assistance and health care, with its impact continuing to expand and putting mounting pressure on both livelihoods and the economy.
The ongoing shutdown could cost the U.S. economy 14 billion U.S. dollars if it lasts eight weeks, the Congressional Budget Office said in a recent report.
Meanwhile, the two parties have continued to trade blame, each accusing the other party of causing the stalemate.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Tuesday in a post on X that thanks to Senate Democrats, every day is getting worse for the American people.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer believed that Republicans should be held accountable for the soaring cost of healthcare, saying 4 million Americans will lose their health insurance entirely.
The U.S. federal government entered a shutdown at the start of Oct 1 as partisan divisions prevented Congress from passing a funding bill, which marks the first government shutdown in nearly seven years.
The longest government shutdown in U.S. history occurred under Trump's first administration, lasting 35 days from Dec 22, 2018 to Jan 25, 2019, as Democrats refused to back Trump's proposed funding for the U.S.-Mexico border wall.
