The Senate adopted a fiscal 2025 budget blueprint early Saturday mostly along party lines after a debate that began the night before, teeing up the House for a climactic final vote next week.
Republicans beat back numerous amendments en route to adopting the measure on a 51-48 vote.
Rand Paul, R-Ky., voted “no” as he’s long promised due to the resolution’s allowance for raising the statutory debt limit by up to $5 trillion.
