**Schumer Shutdown Day 9**

Dueling proposals to reopen the government failed in the Senate for the 7th time on Thursday.

On October 1 at 12:01 am, the government partially shut down because two measures failed in the Senate.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer rejected the House-passed, clean, short-term stopgap funding bill to keep the government open.

Instead of working with Republicans to responsibly extend funding until November, Schumer chose a shutdown.
