Vote to take place on Blanche nomination after GOP senators drop opposition – US politics live
Trump said he has always known Miller as “a good person” and called the situation “a very sad thing.” In an 89-4 vote, the Senate voted to take up a measure that would temporarily keep the government funded and help avoid a shutdown in the fall. The measure, known as a continuing resolution, would maintain government funding at current levels through 11 December, with some adjustments for specific programs. The Senate is slated to debate the funding bill and move it closer to a final vote.
