The advance vote: The Senate voted 62-38 to end debate on the bill – a cloture vote – and advance it to a final vote. Nine Democrats and one independent, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., voted in favor of cloture. That vote allowed the bill to pass with a simple majority in the final vote.

Democratic leader Chuck Schumer voted alongside Republicans to advance a House GOP spending bill that would keep the government open for another six months, beyond the midnight shutdown deadline.
