The advance vote: The Senate voted 62-38 to end debate on the bill – a cloture vote – and advance it to a final vote. Nine Democrats and one independent, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., voted in favor of cloture. That vote allowed the bill to pass with a simple majority in the final vote.

The GOP-controlled Senate will press forward with a procedural vote to advance a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown before a midnight deadline.

Democrats were split on the vote, with some wanting to use it as leverage to fight Department of Government Efficiency cuts.
