The White House has declared an imminent government shutdown as the Senate fails to pass a funding bill, which would have kept federal agencies funded through November 21. The GOP-backed spending bill was expected to avoid a shutdown, but its failure leaves the US on the brink of a partial or full government shutdown. The declaration marks the first time in nearly two decades that the White House has predicted a shutdown due to a lack of funding. The Senate is now racing against the clock to find an alternative solution before the scheduled deadline.
