In an extremely rare scene in Republican-controlled Washington, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer moved to approve the bipartisan bill under a voice vote with no objections.

House Republican leaders said they voted to approve the plan with the expectation the Senate would amend it to address their concerns.

However, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said after the overwhelming House vote of 427 to 1, that was no longer necessary.

And this way, the senators did not have to have their votes recorded.

In a major reversal, Trump in recent days said he'd sign the bill when it reaches his desk.
