All senators who caucus with the Democrats voted “yay” – and 15 Republicans joined the Democrats and voted “yay.”

The bill will now head to the House of Representatives for a vote.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said first thing in the morning she will immediately advance the bill through the Rules Committee and bring the bill to the House Floor for a vote.
The bill will then head to Joe Biden’s desk for a signature.
