House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) holds a press conference at the U.S. Capitol on Monday, Oct. 6 as the shutdown enters its sixth day.

The fate of the ongoing government shutdown will once again be put up for a vote in the Senate.

Members of the Senate are expected to reconvene for a vote on a pair of bills to reopen the government later this afternoon on Oct. 6, but it's unclear whether they will yield anything different from a string of failed votes last week.

Senate Republicans are working to approve a bill House Republicans approved to reopen the government until at least Friday, Nov. 21. Only three Senate Democrats have joined the effort so far and another five would be needed to advance the bill.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) also has voted against the bill aimed at reopening the government. Without a compromise, both measures are likely to fail again.

Since the government shutdown began on Oct. 1, pay has been suspended for approximately 2 million federal workers, while 750,000 workers remain on furlough following the funding lapse. Other federal workers, like troops and air traffic control workers, are working without pay.

Here's how to watch the proceedings live.
