The draft law provides for the allocation of more than $460 billion to finance a number of agencies. According to the rules of procedure, the initiative required the support of at least 60 senators. As a result, 63 parliamentarians voted in favor of it, while 35 voted against it.
Now the Senate must hold a key vote to avoid a partial shutdown of the federal government due to lack of funding. If the upper chamber approves the bill, the document will be sent to US President Joe Biden for signature.
