(Worthy News) – Republican senators on Monday night blocked a measure that would keep the government running and would suspend a ceiling on debt, frustrating but not stamping out their Democrat colleagues’ efforts to avert a shutdown.
The measure needed 60 votes to pass, but garnered a 50-48 tally, with no Republicans supporting it.
Democrats are expected to try again on Thursday to pass a bill that will keep the government funded past Sept. 30, the fiscal end of the government year. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
