The Senate on Friday rejected two proposals to temporarily fund the government, setting the stage for a government shutdown on Oct. 1 when current funding expires.

The dual funding packages, one from Democrats and one from Republicans , were rejected after neither party could surpass the 60-vote threshold for passage. The Senate is now expected to recess until Monday, Sept. 29, right up against the shutdown deadline.
