The Democrats voted for 13 stopgap resolutions under Biden, something Speaker Johnson has pointed out amid consternation over the government shutdown.

Hundreds of thousands of federal employees will receive their furlough notices now that the government has shut down, and many government services will pause operations. A GOP-sponsored continuing resolution requires 60 votes to be adopted in the Senate.

As the federal government faces what would be its first shutdown in nearly seven years at midnight, Iowa Republican U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley said he hopes lawmakers advance a “clean continuing resolution,” as both parties continue to disagree on health care and spending.

In a post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump called for Republicans to vote to pass a continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown.
