Original Note:
While Republicans have a majority in the Senate, they do not have 60 votes to invoke cloture and overcome a Democratic filibuster. This means that 41 Democratic votes alone is sufficient to block funding and force a government shutdown. https://www.senate.gov/about/powers-procedures/filibusters-cloture.htm
