US Senate passes 6-month stopgap bill

EPA-EFE/MICHAEL REYNOLDS

The United States Senate passed a six-month spending bill only hours before the government shutdown deadline.

The Senate vote was 54-46 and almost entirely along party lines. The only exceptions were Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Senator Angus King of Maine, who voted "yes," and Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, who voted against the bill.

The bill has been sent to US President Donald Trump, who is expected to sign it into law.
