The Senate advanced legislation on a party-line vote Tuesday as Democrats pushed through a procedural motion 51-49, though the bill faces uncertain prospects in the House where Republicans control the agenda. This week’s floor activity included five votes on amendments spanning immigration, healthcare funding, and agricultural subsidies, with two GOP amendments narrowly failing. A single bill cleared one chamber, while lawmakers filed 15 additional amendments ahead of scheduled votes next week.
