WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate finds itself on Friday in a familiar position, working to avoid a partial government shutdown with just hours to spare as Democrats confront two painful options: allowing passage of a bill they believe gives President Donald Trump vast discretion on spending decisions or voting no and letting a funding lapse ensue.

The spending measure, which passed the House earlier in the week, was presented to the Senate as a take-it-or-leave-it proposition. The vote in the Senate was 62-38, with 37 Democrats opposing the bill along with Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who wanted the measure to codify Trump’s cuts to foreign aid.

WASHINGTON (TNND) — The Senate has passed a six-month spending bill Friday evening, hours before a potential government shutdown. This comes after fierce Democratic opposition to the bill. The final vote was 54-46. Democrats were frustrated that Republicans went ahead with the funding bill with little input from them.
