The House of Representatives on Feb. 5 passed a budget resolution, setting up a partisan vote later this month on President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 relief package.

The House approved the resolution 219-209. No Republicans voted for the resolution. Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) joined the GOP in voting against it.
