The Friday vote was 62-82, with ten Democrats voting with all Republicans. The sole Republican to vote with the opposition was Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.).
Democrats who voted to avert a government shutdown include minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Catherine Cortez-Masto (D-Nev.).
Schumer switched up his rhetoric half-way through the week, deciding to vote for the measure.
The stop gap will keep the current federal spending levels the same throughout September.
President Donald Trump will now sign it into law.
