After a dramatic day in Congress, the Senate signed off on a measure that will keep the government open for at least the next 45-days.
In the House, the measure passed with a vote of 335-91, with bipartisan support from a majority of Democrats. Of the 91 votes against the measure, 90 were Republicans. The stopgap bill allows critical government services to continue, which include disaster relief funds, and an extension of a federal flood insurance program. However, the the House-approved measure did not include aid to Ukraine, which became a point of contention in the Senate.
Bennet, who ultimately voted yes on the measure, cited his family history as the reason for his delay and toldthat he wanted the world to know that congress could come back with a"bipartisan effort to fund Ukraine properly."This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
