The Senate is moving forward on pushing the House-passed continuing resolution to keep the government open through its chamber before the Oct. 1 deadline.
A Democratic aide told the Washington Examiner that the Senate is currently hot-lining the bill in order to set up a vote “as soon as possible.” Democrats were forced to decide whether to proceed with the bill, which includes disaster relief but excludes Ukraine aid, after Senate Republicans rallied around the House measure on Saturday afternoon.
Democrats currently control the Senate 50-49, though the absence of Sen. Debbie Stabenow left them with a split chamber. This gave Republicans the ability to block the leadership-approved bipartisan CR, which includes $6 billion in Ukraine aid and $6 billion in disaster aid. The move was a reversal for McConnell, who two sources tell the Washington Examiner made an impassioned defense for voting to advance the Senate's bipartisan CR and continued support for Ukraine to his conference at a meeting before the vote on Saturday.
