The Senate on Friday approved a last-minute stopgap spending bill to avert a government shutdown.

The 85 to 11 vote followed tense negotiations in the House that led to the chamber approving a 118-page bill that excluded pork spending and a host of items that President-elect Donald Trump had blasted as “Democratic giveaways.”

It notably did not include a provision to suspend the debt limit that Trump sought to include.

The bill now heads to the desk of President Joe Biden, who has indicated he will sign it, according to Politico.
