The Senate failed to advance the House-passed funding bill to end the government shutdown for the 12th time on Wednesday.

Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon spoke for 22 hours and 37 minutes, beginning Tuesday evening, in protest of what he called President Trump’s “authoritarianism.”

The Senate vote was 54-46, short of the 60 votes needed to move the bill forward, News has reported.

At 22 days, the shutdown has become the second-longest in modern U.S. history, behind only the 35-day lapse in late 2018 and early 2019.

Republicans accuse Democrats of refusing to pass the continuing resolution and keeping the government shutdown.
