The House voted to approve the $1.2 trillion funding bill, setting off a sprint in the Senate to take up and pass the legislation ahead of a fast-approaching shutdown deadline at the end of the day.

The final vote was 286-134 with 112 Republicans and 22 Democrats voting against the measure. The bill now heads to the Senate.

The tight timeline has sparked fears on Capitol Hill of a potential partial shutdown. Top lawmakers on both sides of the aisle say they are pushing to prevent that, but the objection of any single senator could delay a swift vote, pushing the chamber right up against, or past, the deadline.
