The Senate is slated to vote on measures to keep the government open ahead of the midnight shutdown deadline.
There will be two votes considering proposals brought forth by Democrats and Republicans, respectively. Both measures are expected to fail as negotiations between party leaders have failed in recent days.
Democrats are seeking to fund the government through Oct. 31, permanently extending the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced health insurance premium subsidies and restoring nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts.
On the other hand, Republicans will present the House-backed continuing resolution to fund the government through Nov. 21 at current levels.
Votes are expected to begin at 5:30 p.m. EDT.
