Senate holds vote-a-rama on budget resolution for immigration enforcement funding
The Senate began a vote-a-rama Wednesday night on a budget resolution intended to fund immigration enforcement through the reconciliation process, bypassing the Democratic filibuster. Democrats, lacking the votes to stop the roughly $70 billion in immigration funding, used the procedural session to force votes on affordability-focused amendments covering healthcare, child care, groceries, and housing. The vote-a-rama was expected to begin at 8 p.m. and stretch late into the night.
