According to Odaily Planet Daily, 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, which aims to temporarily restore government operations at current funding levels. This procedural motion has been rejected 12 consecutive times in the Senate, as it requires at least 60 votes (including support from some Democratic members) to pass. It is expected that the 13th vote will fail again. Several Senate Democrats reportedly stated that the government shutdown will be difficult to end unless President Trump personally participates in the negotiations. (Jinshi)
