The Senate inched closer to funding the government before the deadline Friday.
Needing 60 votes to keep the lights on and prevent a shutdown beginning Saturday morning, the House-passed continuing resolution passed a procedural vote 62-38 on Friday afternoon. Ten Democrats voted in favor.
“The sooner we get this wrapped up, the better,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) told reporters on Friday morning.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) backed the continuing resolution late Thursday, sparking the fury of many in his party who have called loudly for the bill's defeat.
Those tensions remained on full display Friday.
President Trump on Friday afternoon gave remarks at the Justice Department. His topics ranged from praise for Aileen Cannon, the federal judge who dismissed the Mar-a-Lago documents case against him, to mainstream media.
