Ahead of the vote, Senate Democrats criticized the partisan approach taken by House Republicans on the funding bill.
Lawmakers said the bill would trim $13 billion in non-defense spending from the levels in the 2024 budget year and increase defense spending by $6 billion, which are rather flat changes for both categories when compared with an overall topline of nearly $1.7 trillion in discretionary spending.
House Republicans narrowly passed a stopgap bill Tuesday to fund the government until October, putting moderate Senate Democrats in the tough spot of having to either give the measure final approval — or tank it and risk a partial government shutdown in three days.
