The Senate passed a clean continuing resolution that originated in the House on Saturday, just hours before the federal government was set to run out of funding and shut down.

The Senate voted 88-9 for the continuing resolution on Saturday night, which is a temporary spending bill that allows the federal government to continue functioning for 45 days, buying lawmakers more time to negotiate a deal for the annual appropriations bills. It now will head to President Joe Biden's desk. Senators who voted against the measure were Mike Braun (R-IN), Rand Paul (R-KY), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Eric Schmitt (R-MO), JD Vance (R-OH), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Mike Lee (R-UT), and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).
