Summary

The U.S. Senate said the temporary budget vote to end the government shutdown was rejected for the 12th time.
It said this rejection has deepened disruptions to federal agencies' operations and economic damage caused by the shutdown.
It reported that budget negotiations between the parties remain deadlocked.

The U.S. Senate again rejected a continuing resolution (CR) to end the government shutdown.

According to CBS News on the 23rd (local time), the Senate rejected the Republican-sponsored continuing resolution to end the shutdown in a 54-46 vote. This defeat marked the 12th failed vote since the shutdown.

In the vote, three Democratic senators voted in favor of the Republican plan, maintaining their previous stance. This has been a repeated pattern in every vote held since the shutdown began.

Meanwhile, as the shutdown enters its third week, disruptions to federal agencies' operations and economic damage are deepening, but budget negotiations between the parties remain deadlocked.
