The Senate is set to vote on final passage of the sprawling $1.7 trillion fiscal 2023 omnibus on Thursday after senators resolved a dispute over Trump-era border restrictions during the public health emergency.
Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., said Thursday morning that a time agreement had been reached. Following votes on 15 omnibus amendments and a disaster aid measure proposed by Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., the Senate will vote on final passage later today.
“It’s taken a while, but it is worth it,” Schumer said. He cautioned senators to remain in their seats so they can wrap up swiftly and get the measure (HR 2617) over to the House, which could clear it as soon as Thursday.
