Shutdown reaches 22nd day, second longest in history; vote scheduled - UPI.com

Oct. 22 (UPI) -- The U.S. Senate is scheduled to vote again on reopening the government on Wednesday as the federal shutdown enters Day 22 and begins its fourth week.

The vote will be its 12th House-passed bill to reopen the government, funding it until Nov. 21.

The last vote was on Monday, when it again fell short of the 60 votes needed. On Tuesday, Republican senators lunched at the White House with President Donald Trump in the Rose Garden.

House Democratic leaders and members of the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee are meeting Wednesday morning and bashing House Republicans for staying away from Washington.
