Senate Votes 71-29 to Pass Revised Government Funding Package

The Senate on Friday evening voted 71-29 to pass a revised $1.2 trillion funding package that will partially fund the government until September 30.

The bill will now head to the House.

The House is in recess until Monday, so the government will partially shut down over the weekend.

The Democrats and President Trump will have two weeks to negotiate the Homeland Security appropriations bill.
