10:16Now PlayingA government shutdown was averted just hours before the Friday 11:59 p.m. deadline after enough Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., helped Republicans defeat the filibuster.
The bill now heads to President Donald Trump's desk for a signature.
The bill will keep spending levels the same as fiscal year (FY) 2024 until Oct. 1.
The Senate earlier took a key procedural vote on a stopgap spending bill, which needed to meet a 60-vote threshold to move forward, also known as the legislative filibuster. House Republicans passed the short-term bill, called a continuing resolution, earlier in the week.
If a spending bill was not passed by the Friday deadline, the government would enter into a partial shutdown.
During a partial government shutdown, federal agencies and non-essential services would be halted. However, government functions deemed "essential" would continue. National security protocols, such as border patrol, law enforcement and disaster response, stay active during shutdowns, for example.
