Blocking the bill calling them obstructionist losers not legislators. As more now from washington d. C. Ten oclock on a friday night in washington d. C. The senate convenes a vote and it is clear they cannot pass whats called a continuing resolution thats something that would keep the government running for days or even weeks there were republicans who defected there were democrats who got on board still not enough so then we saw something very unusual they didnt close the vote which meant it could have changed so we saw all republicans democrats walking the senate floor for two hours talking to each other bringing up the idea that maybe they had some sort of short term deal but in the end after midnight when it was official that the government was partially shutting down they came out and said no deal so what happens next well it could either come up with a compromise in days or even weeks if it goes longer than just a couple of days it will start to have an impact on the economy for
