Senators voted on amendments for hours overnight before passing the budget.
Senate Republicans scored a win over their House counterparts in the early morning hours of Friday, officially passing their preferred budget resolution to tackle some of President Trump’s priorities, such as securing the southern border.
After hours of back-to-back voting on Democratic amendments, the bill to fund border security, energy and defense finally got its vote on the chamber floor.
The measure passed by a vote of 52-48, and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., was the only Republican to oppose. All Senate Democrats voted against it as well.
The Senate voted on various amendments and points of order for nearly 10 hours, considering dozens of them on the floor. Ultimately, two Republican-led amendments were adopted.
