Congress averted a government shutdown Friday just hours before the funding deadline, after the Senate approved a House-passed spending bill that exposed deep rifts within the Democratic Party.

The Senate gave final approval to a stopgap spending bill to fund the government through Sept. 30. The GOP-backed measure cleared a key hurdle with help from 10 Democratic senators.

Democrats were split on the vote, with some wanting to use it as leverage to fight Department of Government Efficiency cuts.
