Washington

The US government shutdown has entered its third week, with the Senate scheduled to reconvene in an effort to resolve the funding impasse. Congress has repeatedly failed to pass competing spending bills, resulting in thousands of federal workers being laid off, including some who were mistakenly let go according to the CDC.

Vice President J.D. Vance acknowledged the chaos caused by the shutdown and emphasized the need to preserve resources for essential government functions. When the Senate returns, lawmakers are expected to vote on a short-term funding bill, with Republican leaders urging Democrats to support the measure in order to reopen the government and extend funding through mid-November.

El cierre se prolonga por tercera semana mientras el Senado se reúne de nuevo

El Senado se reunirá de nuevo mañana como el cierre del gobierno y es su tercera semana. Ahora, la semana pasada, el Congreso rechazó los proyectos de ley de gastos por séptima vez. Miles de trabajadores federales ya han recibido la noticia que serán despedidos permanentemente. Y escucha esto, el CDC dice que cientos de trabajadores fueron despedidos por error. Margaret Brennan preguntó al vicepresidente J.D. Vance sobre todo esto ayer en Face the Nation. Tenemos que hacer despidos porque tenemos que preservar los recursos necesarios para hacer las cosas más críticas que hace el gobierno. Y en esa fase, vas a tener algo de caos. Vas a despedir gente, francamente, Margaret, que la Casa Blanca no quiere despedir. Nos gustaría reabrir el gobierno y garantizar que estos servicios esenciales sigan funcionando. Pero, por desgracia, en un entorno donde estamos tratando con recursos limitados, donde el gobierno está cerrado, tenemos que mover algunas cosas. Y en ese movimiento de cosas, hay algo de caos. Hay algo de imprevisibilidad. Pero estamos intentando hacer todo lo que podemos con la mano de cartas que Chuck Schumer y los demócratas nos han repartido. Corresponsal de CBS News en el Congreso, Nicole Killian, se une a nosotros ahora desde el Capitolio con más información sobre todo esto. Buenos días, Nicole. Entonces, ¿cómo están las cosas esta mañana y ¿qué podemos esperar cuando vuelva el Senado? Sí, bueno, probablemente puedas ver detrás de mí, Errol, está bastante tranquilo por aquí, excepto quizás por unos pocos reporteros que podrías ser capaz de escuchar aquí en el lado del Senado del Capitolio. Quiero decir, mira, los legisladores se han ido. No están aquí. Obviamente es una fiesta federal, con la excepción del Presidente Johnson, que está celebrando una conferencia de prensa a esta hora. Pero, ya sabes, no se está negociando entre los líderes del Congreso. Ahora, sabemos cuando vuelve el Senado mañana, intentarán de nuevo votar una ley de financiación a corto plazo. Sin embargo, en el pasado con el Senado, los hemos visto tomar el proyecto de ley que aprobó la Cámara para financiar el gobierno hasta noviembre, así como una alternativa demócrata. Pero mañana, más que probablemente, puede que sólo veamos una votación sobre el proyecto de ley de la Cámara porque los líderes republicanos en este punto están realmente tratando de forzar las manos de los demócratas aquí. Dicen, en su opinión, que es realmente la única manera de abrir el gobierno es si los demócratas empiezan a romper filas y apoyan esta extensión de financiación a corto plazo de nuevo hasta mediados de noviembre.
