The US Senate failed for the eighth time to pass the Republican bill to continue government funding, according to the results of the vote broadcast by C-Span.
Voting on the initiative is still ongoing, but it no longer has the necessary 60 votes.

On Friday, Senate Republican leader John Thune said that they still need five Democratic votes to end the US government shutdown. US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant warned on Monday that the US government shutdown is already starting to affect the country's economy and the lives of citizens.
The new US fiscal year began on October 1 without a state budget approved by Congress. This forced the federal government to shut down, affecting up to 40 percent of the workforce - more than 800,000 people. Republicans control both houses of Congress, but need 60 votes to pass a bill that would continue to fund the government in the Senate. The ruling party currently holds 53 seats.
President Donald Trump has blamed Democrats for the government shutdown.
The administration has used the shutdown to begin cutting staff and wages, as well as eliminating programs that Republicans disapprove of.
During this period, the US armed forces continue to serve at full strength, and federal law enforcement officers are required to report to work. However, they have not yet received their salaries.
Experts warn that each week of shutdown reduces US GDP growth by 0.1-0.2 percentage points. And if the current crisis drags on, its consequences could have a significant impact on the country's economy.
