Back<\/span><\/p>\n transcript<\/p>\n \u201cOn this vote, the yeas are 47, the nays are 53. Three-fifths of the senators duly chosen and sworn not having voted in the affirmative, the motion is not agreed to.\u201d \u201cThe House will be in order.\u201d \u201cDonald Trump and Republicans have barreled us into a shutdown because they refuse to protect Americans\u2019 health care. Democrats want to avert this crisis, but Republicans tried to bully us, and it\u2019s clear they can\u2019t. They don\u2019t have the votes. The way out of this is for Republicans to finally roll up their sleeves and get to work.\u201d \u201cUnfortunately, we are here this morning in a government shutdown the Democrats wanted. Chuck Schumer, at the behest of a bunch of liberal, far-left activist groups, has walked his Democrat colleagues into a boxed canyon. There\u2019s no way out, folks. There\u2019s no way out. This could have been avoided. It\u2019s totally unavoidable. And everybody is now asking the question: How does this end? Well, it ends when the Senate Democrats pick this bill up, passed by the House of Representatives, and vote for it.\u201d \u201cIf this thing drags on for another few days or, God forbid, another few weeks, we are going to have to lay people off. We\u2019re going to have to save money in some places so that essential services don\u2019t get turned off in other places. That is the reality of the government shutdown that Chuck Schumer and the Democrats have foisted upon the administration.\u201d<\/p>\n Dueling proposals to end the government shutdown failed in the Senate on Wednesday. There was no end in sight to the deadlock as neither party showed signs of bowing to the other\u2019s government spending demands.<\/span><\/p>\n By Jamie Leventhal<\/p>\n October 1, 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" new video loaded: Republicans and Democrats in Deadlock Over Federal Funding transcript Back transcript Republicans and Democrats in Deadlock Over Federal Funding Dueling proposals to end the government shutdown failed in the Senate on Wednesday.
