From MSNBC.

Watch live coverage as the GOP leadership led by Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) hold a news conference after the government shutdown midnight on Wednesday. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said at a press conference after Tuesday’s failed votes that Republicans are now in the hunt for a few additional Democrats to support their clean, short term funding bill after three Democrats defected during tonight’s vote. This is the first government since 2018, in Trump’s first term, which was the longest ever at 34 days, lasting into early 2019. There is no clear path to a resolution, with the two sides fundamentally at odds over how to resolve the impasse.
