The US Senate was unable to pass a stopgap funding bill, resulting in the continuation of the government shutdown. The deadlock centers on disagreements over Affordable Care Act tax credits, with several Democratic senators holding out for more concessions. The White House has increased pressure on Senate Democrats, threatening to cut Democratic programs, though it is unclear which programs would be affected. As the shutdown continues, concerns grow over potential impacts on federal workers, military pay, and veterans' benefits.

Senate fails to reopen government after stopgap funding bill vote

Emily Wilkins is on Capitol Hill. She has the latest for us. Hi Emily Hey Morgan Well right now senators are trying yet again to see if they can vote to reopen the government and the rule up here is that No vote is final until the gavel falls. It hasn't yet But look we know basically everyone's voted at this point and from what we see it has yet again Failed to reopen the government and no real movement here. You still need five Democratic senators Those senators are still holding out for more when it comes to the Affordable Care Act tax credits and finding a path forward on that This is a position we've been in for the last week right now And this stalemate is is really seems like it can only be broken If one side begins to feel more pressure and the White House is actually trying to do that right now Trump again trying to ratch up the pressure on Senate Democrats to get them to vote to end the shutdown this time threatening to end Democratic programs We'll be making cuts that will be permanent and we're only going to cut Democrat programs I hate to tell you I guess that's makes sense, but we're only cutting Democrat programs but we're going to start that and we have Russell we can talk to you about it if he wants to but we're we'll be cutting some very popular Democrat programs Now it's not clear at this point which programs Trump was specifically referring to of course We're still waiting to see what happens with these massive federal layoffs that Trump has mentioned Haven't seen those occur yet And of course some questions about whether some of these furloughed workers will get back pay Although now you're hearing on Capitol Hill more Republicans saying that they will make sure that that happens But Morgan there are going to be other pressure points coming as well Next week on the 15th better the members of the military will not be getting their paycheck That is going to be a big pressure point and it doesn't seem like at this point Congress is going to act to ensure that they are getting paid and veterans are also feeling some of these impacts Including accessing the GI Bill, but at this point Morgan seems like we are locked in a shutdown for the foreseeable future
