Government shutdown updates: Senate vote marks step towards ending federal shutdown

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked what else President Donald Trump plans to do help bring the shutdown to an end besides posting on his social media platform Truth Social.

"Look, I think you'll see. I think you'll see the president continue to engage, very strongly and consistently with his friends on Capitol Hill. I don't have any meetings to read out for you at this time, but I think you should stay tuned and keep your eyes on Truth Social on this matter. The president's making his position on it quite clear," Leavitt said.

Trump has issued multiple calls on Republicans to eliminate the filibuster to end the stalemate.

"And again, he is right. Republicans need to play tough. We know that this is what the Democrats will do if they are ever given the keys to power again," she said.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday that the administration is complying with a court order to pay SNAP benefits, after President Donald Trump suggested on social media that no benefits will be given until Democrats vote to reopen the government.

"The administration is fully complying with the court order," she said. "I just spoke to the president about it. The recipients of these SNAP benefits need to understand it's going to take some time to receive this money, because the Democrats have forced the administration into a very untenable position. We are digging into a contingency fund that is supposed to be for emergencies, catastrophes for war, and the president does not want to have to tap into this fund in the future. And that's what he was referring to in his Truth Social post."

"So the Department of Agriculture, as for the latest SNAP payment and the judge's order, put out guidance to states today on how to get that money to the recipients of SNAP. But it's going to take some time," she continued.

The Senate failed for the 14th time to advance a bill that would've reopened the government until Nov. 21.

The bill failed to advance by a vote of 54-44. It would have needed 60 votes to advance.

As has been the case in previous votes, Sen. Rand Paul was the lone Republican to vote against the bill. Democratic Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto and John Fetterman, and Independent Angus King voted for it. No senators changed their position from previous votes.

The failed vote all but guarantees that this shutdown will become the longest in U.S. history, as there are currently no other votes on reopening the government set for today and the shutdown record will be set tomorrow.

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that no SNAP benefits will go out to Americans until after the government reopens -- a day after the Department of Agriculture said in court it would make partial payments.

The president posted on social media that those benefits "will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before!"

ABC News asked both the White House and the USDA for clarification.
