Vice President Kamala Harris cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate early Friday morning, confirming passage of President Joe Biden’s massive $1.9 trillions coronavirus relief plan.
The spending package passed at 5:35 a.m. after a full night of debate, pushed forward by Democrats looking to force through a budget reconciliation deal without the support of Republicans.
The vote was tied 50-50 in the Senate before Harris arrived and cast the vote to break the tie.
Democrats applauded in the chamber after her vote was cast.
