The Senate approved a stopgap bill to avert a government shutdown that was slated to begin on Nov. 22, sending the measure to President Donald Trump’s desk just hours before the deadline was to begin.

Senators voted 74–20 on the continuing resolution that would fund the federal government until Dec. 20.
