A bill that would fund the U.S. military during the ongoing government shutdown failed to pass the Senate in a procedural vote on Thursday.
The bill required at least 60 votes in the 100-member Senate to advance because of the chamber’s filibuster rules.
The final vote was 50-44, with three Democrats joining Republicans in voting “aye.”
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., voted against the bill solely as a tactic to allow him to quickly revive the effort to fund the Pentagon during the shutdown.
