The six-bill package funds parts of the federal government through September.
Washington — The Senate passed a six-bill package to fund parts of the federal government through September, narrowly avoiding a partial shutdown. The upper chamber voted 75 to 22, sending the bill to President Biden's desk before a midnight deadline. Republicans' demands for amendment votes on immigration-related and other measures slowed its passage and threatened to push the final vote to Saturday, after funding lapsed.
Congress has another two weeks, until March 22, to pass the six remaining spending bills to fully fund the government for the same timeframe. But getting the second package — which includes funding for the Defense, State and Homeland Security departments — through Congress is expected to be more contentious.
