The U.S. government shutdown enters its sixth day, and the Senate will vote again on appropriations bill

The U.S. Senate will vote repeatedly on Monday on a House bill that would temporarily fund the U.S. government but is not expected to pass.
This will be the fifth time senators have voted on the resolution, which has failed to pass each time before.
As the U.S. government shutdown enters its sixth day, Republicans and Democrats, who control both houses of Congress, remain divided on the terms of an appropriations deal. The Senate is scheduled to vote on the bill at around 5:30 p.m. ET, which will fund the government until November 21.
The Trump administration has reiterated that if the shutdown continues beyond Monday, it will lay off mass workers.
Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, said Trump may "start taking tough measures" if the Senate does not approve the appropriations bill.
Hassett said Democrats should be held accountable for "any government worker who loses his job due to layoffs orders."
During the government shutdown, federal employees typically took unpaid leave rather than being fired.
Republican senators need at least 8 votes from the Democratic caucus to meet the 60-vote threshold needed to advance the bill.
So far, the only senators in the Democratic caucus to vote for the House resolution are John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, and Angus King of Maine, one of two independents in the caucus.
If the bill fails to pass Monday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune could vote again on Tuesday, Punchbowl News reported.
