The Senate approved a $4.6 billion border funding bill on June 26, setting up a confrontation with House Democrats who passed their own version of the bill the day before.
The Senators voted 84-8 in a rare display of bipartisanship to fund President Donald Trump’s humanitarian aid request for the southern border. In contrast, Democrats in the House voted along party lines the day before to pass a competing bill, despite a veto threat from Trump. The Senate voted down the House bill.
