(WASHINGTON) — Senate Democrats on Thursday voted unanimously to block a package of six funding bills that would fund large portions of the government through the end of September — meaning a partial government shutdown could still happen in the coming days. A deal would temporarily extend funding for DHS through a short-term bill, which would give Democrats and the White House more time to discuss any possible policy changes. Republicans need the support of at least seven Democrats in the Senate to avert a partial shutdown. The White House has not yet commented on the ongoing negotiations. Any changes to the government funding bill passed in the Senate would have to go back to the House, which is currently in recess until Monday.
