The Hill: Senate approves $1.3 trillion spending bill, sending to Trump

The Senate rushed to approve a $1.3 trillion government funding bill early Friday morning, sending the mammoth legislation to President Trump’s desk less than 24 hours before a deadline to avert another government shutdown.

Senators voted 65-32 on the measure, well over the simple majority needed to approve it, despite late drama after the bill easily cleared the House on Thursday afternoon. It now goes to the White House where Trump is expected to sign it.
