Senators voted 82-15 on the continuing resolution (CR), which will fund the government through Nov. 21. Lawmakers had until Monday night to prevent the second funding lapse of the year. The measure, which passed the House last week, now heads to President Trumpâ€s desk, where White House officials have said they expect him to sign it.
The short-term funding bill includes a provision requiring the Department of Agriculture to provide state-by-state data on the effects of President Trumpâ€s trade war, extends funding for a slew of health programs and the National Flood Insurance Program and reauthorizes the Export-Import Bank.
Senators rejected an amendment from Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) that would have cut spending to help pay for the stopgap bill.
