Share Print 0

The U.S. government shutdown will go into a third day Monday, as the Senate failed to strike a deal to break an impasse before the work week starts in Washington.Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will move to advance a stopgap spending bill at noon ET on Monday, he said Sunday night. He hoped to hold a procedural vote on the measure as soon as 10 p.m. Sunday night, but Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer objected as Democrats still had not seen enough progress in talks on issues like immigration to move forward.The stalemate will now last through the start of business Monday, when the effects of the government funding lapse will be felt more heavily. Just under a million federal workers would not go into work if the shutdown persists, while financial markets would have their first chance to react to the dysfunction in Washington.
