Congress moved closer to an Oct. 1 government shutdown as Senate Democrats and Republicans on Friday each blocked the other party’s rival plans to provide temporary funding.
Democrats are demanding a boost to health care spending while Republicans refuse to go along and back a simple bill to keep the lights on through Nov. 21.
Resolving the conflict is complicated by the Senate’s plan to take a week-long break as the Oct. 1 funding lapse nears. The Senate could return to Washington as late as Sept. 29. The House plans to stay on recess until after Oct. 1.
