Скачать или смотреть U.S. Government is SHUT DOWN

The federal government was set to shut down at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, after Senate Democrats rejected a bill that would have extended the deadline and kept agencies open through Nov. 21.

The upper chamber voted 55-45 on the Republican-led proposal Tuesday night, which needed 60 votes to pass. Only two Democrats, Sens. John Fetterman (Pennsylvania) and Catherine Cortez Masto (Nevada), voted with the GOP for the measure, along with Angus King (I-Maine). Just one Republican, Sen. Rand Paul (Kentucky), joined with Democrats in opposing it. Lawmakers had already voted down a Democratic alternative that was widely expected to fail.
