A bill that would fund the U.S. military during the current federal government shutdown failed to pass the Senate in a procedural vote Thursday.
The bill required at least 60 votes among the Senate’s 100 members to advance due to the chamber’s filibuster rules.
The final vote was 50-44, with three Democrats joining most Republicans in voting “yes.”
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., voted against the bill only as a tactic to allow him to quickly restart efforts to fund the Pentagon during the shutdown.
The vote came hours after a Senate bill to fund the entire government failed.
