2nd US government shutdown of 2018 looms as Rand Paul holds up Senate vote

[Born To Slay 10,996]

The US government was heading toward its second shutdown of 2018 late on Thursday as Republican Senator Rand Paul held up voting on a two-year budget deal that would avert it.

Paul, a fiscal conservative from the state of Kentucky, said he could not allow a quick vote to take place because the proposed measure, which would fund the government for another six weeks, would also expand the US deficit.

Because the undecided voters will see Republicans as failures and will be hesitant to vote for them this upcoming November.
