Patrick Leahy and Alex Padilla in the Old Senate Chamber at the U.S. Capitol on February 4, 2021.The Senate Friday approved a budget measure that paves the way for President Biden's stimulus bill. The resolution means that Biden can pass the stimulus bill with no GOP support. The US Senate early Friday morning passed a budget resolution that paves the way for Congress to approve President Joe Biden's $1.

The vote was split along party lines, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the deciding vote for the resolution to be approved 51-50 at around 5:35 a.m. It was Harris' first tie-breaking Senate vote since her election as vice president, with the Senate evenly split between Democratic and Republican senators. With the tool, Democrats can pass the stimulus bill with a simple majority vote, evading potential GOP blocking tactics that would have otherwise required a two-thirds Senate majority vote to override. It will now be sent to the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives for ratification.
