The U.S. Senate cleared a procedural 60-vote threshold on Sunday night.
The final vote was 60-40.
Both Ohio Senators, Jon Husted and Bernie Moreno, voted “yay.”
Senator Husted announced the final vote tally.
CNN reports that this deal has enough support to fund the government through Jan. 30.
However, it does not mean the package has cleared the Senate.
CNN says if the Senate approves it, it would still have to go back to the House for passage before heading to President Trump’s desk for his signature.
