Both parties' funding proposals in the U.S. have failed, leaving the government in a stalemate.

Jin10 reported on October 9 that on Wednesday, the U.S. Senate once again rejected the funding bills proposed by both the Republican and Democratic parties, failing to end the government shutdown that has lasted for eight days, with no signs of a resolution in sight. In a vote of 54 to 45, the Senate failed to advance the temporary funding bill led by the Republicans, which was intended to fund the government until late November. Another alternative funding bill supported by the Democrats was also rejected with a result of 47 to 52. Three Democratic senators who had supported the Republicans in previous votes once again sided with the Republicans in Wednesday's vote. Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul stood with the Democrats again to oppose the Republican proposal. These two competing temporary funding measures have failed to pass in the previous five votes.
