The 52-48 overnight vote puts pressure on the GOP-controlled House, which plans to take up its own competing budget resolution next week.

Summary

The Republican Senate passed a $340 billion budget blueprint aimed at funding President Trump’s priorities, including $175 billion for border enforcement and $150 billion for military expansion, following an extended vote.

The resolution, adopted 52-48, directs committees to identify spending cuts to offset new funding.

It faces debate over its fiscal impact and amendments addressing cuts to Medicaid and tax policies.

The measure now pressures the GOP House to reconcile differences or adopt a fallback plan.
