[To stop the government shutdown, the U.S. Senate will vote on the appropriations bill for the 13th time] The U.S. Senate will vote for the 13th time on the "clean version" of the government appropriations bill passed by the House of Representatives. The bill aims to temporarily restore government operations at the current funding level. Previously, this procedural motion had been rejected in the Senate for 12 consecutive times because it required at least 60 votes (including support from some Democratic members) to pass. It is expected that the result of the 13th vote will still fail. It is reported that several Senate Democrats said that unless President Trump personally participates in the negotiations, the government shutdown will be difficult to end. Due to huge differences between the Republican and Democratic parties in the United States on core issues such as health insurance-related welfare spending, the Senate failed to pass a new temporary appropriations bill before the end of the previous fiscal year on September 30, resulting in the depletion of funds for the normal operation of the federal government and a "shutdown" on October 1.
