WASHINGTON (AP) — In a major victory for President Barack Obama, Democrats muscled a huge, $787 billion stimulus bill through Congress tonight in hopes of combating the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Republican opposition was nearly unanimous.
The Senate approved the measure 60-38 with three GOP moderates providing crucial support. Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., voted for the bill, while John Ensign, R-Nev., voted against it.
Hours earlier, the House vote was 246-183, with all Republicans opposed to the package of tax cuts and federal spending that Obama has made the centerpiece of his plan for economic recovery. House members from Nevada split on the bill. Reps. Shelley Berkley and Dina Titus, both Democrats, voted for the bill. Rep. Dean Heller, R-Nev., voted against it.
The president may sign the bill as early as Monday, less than a month after taking office.
