How every senator voted on the bill to avert a government shutdown

The Senate rejected a measure Tuesday that would have extended federal funding through Nov. 21, leaving the government on track to shut down Wednesday. With just hours before funding expired, the 55-45 vote left the Senate short of the 60 votes needed to advance the bill.

Republicans proposed a bill to fund the government for the next seven weeks, but Democrats opposed it because it excluded health care provisions such as extending Affordable Care Act subsidies and reversing Medicaid cuts.

The failed 55-45 vote came after both parties’ stopgap measures faltered. President Donald Trump held a round of negotiations with congressional leaders that yielded no breakthrough, and the White House told agencies to ready plans for layoffs if the government closes.

Democrats proposed their own government spending bill, which would have funded the government through Oct. 31 with roughly $1 trillion in health care spending and new limits on the president’s ability to claw back congressionally approved funds, a plan Republicans dismissed as too costly and partisan.
