With now just a month to go until Election Day, the Democratic primary for US Senate in Texas has become so fraught that a TikToker’s accusations have roiled the race and prompted a major endorsement in the backlash.

Are we heading toward another government shutdown this week? Here's the latest updates on a Senate vote on spending bills including ICE funding.

With ballots tallied from all but a handful of voting centers, Rehmet had 57% of the vote, besting the 43% for his GOP opponent, Leigh Wambsganss, who had a massive spending advantage.

The Senate failed to advance legislation to fund major portions of the government as talks over reforming ICE continue.

President Trump endorsed former critic John Sununu over ally Scott Brown in crucial New Hampshire GOP Senate primary that could determine chamber control.

The pressure now moves to the House, which is in recess, as the government enters at least a limited funding lapse.

Senate Democrats will not support an extension of Homeland Security funding in two weeks “unless it reins in ICE and ends violence,” Schumer said.

Senate Democrats say Republicans have agreed to separate DHS funding from a package of five other appropriations bills that have already passed the House but have not yet cleared the Senate.
