Two measures to end the partial government shutdown, one backed by Republicans and one by Democrats, fell short in the Senate on Thursday, Jan. 24, as lawmakers explored other potential compromises to end a monthlong impasse with the White House.
A bill backed by President Trump to end the shutdown by funding the wall he wants to build on the U.S.-Mexico border and a separate bill supported by Democrats to re-open shuttered agencies without the wall funding did not get the votes required to advance in the 100-member chamber.
