The US has deprived the government off after the Senate has taken a measure under the leadership of the Republicans to keep the government funded over the next six months.
The Stopgap Financing Bill adopted 54-46 in the Senate, when two Democrats joined all but one Republican senator in the vote. President Donald Trump now has to enter the law before ending on Friday.
The key voting occurred earlier when some Senate Democrats after fierce discussions allowed this measure to pass the procedural obstacle.
The minority leader in the Senate, Democrat Chuck Sumer and nine people, crashed with their colleagues to vote for promoting the bill until the last vote on Friday.
Two Democrats – Senator Zhanna Shakhin and Independent Senator Angus King Meng – voted for their last pass. Sumer voted “no”.
On Thursday, he announced that he would vote to allow this measure to move forward, saying that although he was not a bill, he believed that launching the shutdown would be the worst result.
Alexandria Okosio Cortes spokesman called Shumer’s readiness to allow the bill to “huge into the face”, adding that there is a “broad sense of betrayal,” the BBC CBS News reported.
She said that support for the bill “Codifically chaos and ill -advised cuts that Elon Moscow pursues”, and that the Senate Democrats, who voted so will be given the opportunity to “rob our federal government in order to finance tax reduction for billionaires.”
The Democrats suffered from whether it should be maintained this measure, and eventually pushed up to a 30-day permanent resolution, which hardly received enough support to pass.
Senator Ted Cruz accused the Democrats of holding a “political theater” and praised the adoption of the bill.
“The government is funded, let’s go back to work,” he said in a statement.

On Friday morning, Trump suggested a rare two -party praise of the Sumer decision to allow the bill to advance, writing that “the passage will not be destroyed by the country, approval will lead us to new heights.”
The legislation will retain most of the federal level of financing from the Biden administration, with some key changes.
This increases military expenses by $ 6 billion (£ 4.6 billion) for subjects such as border security, veterans and military expenses. But he would reduce the financing that is not allocated by about $ 13 billion.
Local officials in Washington were afraid that the bill would reduce $ 1 billion federal funds for the city over the next six months. However, the Senate approved a separate bill that retained its current operating budget pristine, the New York Times reports.
