On Friday, the Senate did not adopt duel financing bills which would have prevented the closure of the government of three days from stretching until next week.
The latest attempts to adopt the “clean” resolution of the Republicans, which would resume funding at the current levels until the end of November, and the version of the Democrats, which includes additional health care and other measures, did not expect not to succeed.
The same competing resolutions previously failed several times in the Senate, including the day before the closure and after starting on Wednesday morning.
The closure is now almost guaranteed to slip until at least on Monday.
Until now, the leaders of the two parties have shown more interest to convince the Americans than the other is to blame for the dead end than to establish a compromise.
Friday, the head of the majority of the Senate, John Thune, Rs.d., accused his democratic opponents of being intimidated by the far left of their party to hinder President Donald Trump’s agenda.
“It is President Trump and the Democrats who need to fight to satisfy their political base on the far left, far -left militant organizations that move the dog right now,” said Thune. “That’s all that’s.”
The minority head of the Hakeem Jeffries room, DN.Y., said earlier on MSNBC than the president was responsible.
Trump “is part of the presidential witness protection program – no one can find it with regard to the question of the government’s closure because he knows that he is responsible for having caused him,” said Jeffries.
Meanwhile, the financing period should lead to leave of around 750,000 federal employees and trigger the temporary closure of a series of programs and government offices.
The Trump administration, which was already trying to reduce government size, warns that the closure could lead to permanent layoffs of thousands of federal workers – despite this does not occur during previous funding failures.
Trump said on Thursday that the Democrats had given him an “unprecedented opportunity” to cut what he described as “Democratic agencies”.
Although it was not clearly clearly what it meant, Trump’s warning one day came after his administration frozen $ 18 billion in the Ministry of Transport for two major infrastructure projects in New York, and said the Ministry of Energy had canceled nearly $ 8 billion in climate -related projects and other initiatives in 16 states.
Friday morning, the dowry frozen $ 2.1 billion additional federal funds allocated to the Chicago public transport system.
