Happening Now: Senate To Vote On Stopgap Funding Bill As Shutdown Hits 28 Days

The Senate on Tuesday morning will hold its 13th vote on stopgap funding as the government shutdown nears the 4-week mark. Pressure is building on leaders from both parties to reopen the government, especially after millions of federal workers missed their first paycheck and the nation’s largest federal workers union called for an end to the stalemate. Later this week, open enrollment begins for health care insurance as well, putting the spotlight on high premiums and Affordable Care Act tax credits set to expire at the end of the year. Republicans and Democrats held their ground in the first 12 votes, falling at least five lawmakers short of the threshold needed to pass a bill each time. The latest vote is scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m. EDT. Watch the live video above.
