A new Senate vote to restore short-term funding for the federal government failed on Monday.

Lawmakers first voted 45-50 on a proposal brought by Democrats in the chamber, which fell short of the minimum 60-vote threshold required to pass the motion. A following vote on the GOP version of the bill, which has passed the House of Representatives, failed less than an hour later, by a vote of 52-42.

A successful bill would have funded the government through Nov. 21, but without progress, the government remains closed.
