Senate Approves $1.2 Trillion Spending Plan and Averts Government Shutdown

Welcome to Fan Reviews News.

In the early hours of Saturday morning, the Senate overwhelmingly voted in favor of the spending plan, with a vote of 74-to-24.

This comes after the House of Representatives had advanced the 1,012-page spending bill earlier, with a 286-134 vote.

It's important to note that this funding plan covers approximately 70% of discretionary government spending.

The bill aims to fully fund the government until the end of September, putting an end to a heated and prolonged debate that has been ongoing for almost six months into the fiscal year.

However, it did face some opposition, particularly from the GOP.

This is certainly a significant moment and a relief for many.
