After working all night, the US Senate passed a budget bill early Friday morning.
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 move came despite House Republicans being expected to take the lead on passing a budget bill first.
Fox news reported that the decision to move forward with the Senate's alternative budget plan, which is two-pronged as opposed to the House's effort to pass one large bill, was blessed by Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday.
The Senate version will tackle some of President Trump's priorities, such as securing the southern border.
