Senate Republicans took a major step to advance President Donald Trump’s sweeping agenda early Friday morning, voting to adopt a budget blueprint that sets up a clash with House Republicans, who have put forward a competing plan.

The Senate plan, passed last week, does not include Medicaid cuts. The Senate budget resolution omits tax policy but sets the spending agenda to enact Trump’s border, defense and energy policies, punting negotiations on tax policy to a later date and breaking up the spending plan into two separate measures.

The Senate passed a Republican bill promoting President Donald Trump's immigration, energy and defense policies in the early hours of Friday.

The Senate, working into the morning hours Friday, passed the first of two budget bills, focusing on border security, immigration and tax breaks.
