The Senate approved a $154.2 billion, four-bill fiscal 2019 spending package Wednesday as a continuing bipartisan effort in the chamber pushed it ahead of the House in the appropriations process.

The vote was 92-6. Republicans cast the opposing votes: Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Mike Lee of Utah, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Patrick J. Toomey of Pennsylvania.

The Senate has now passed seven of the 12 annual spending bills; the House has passed six.

Sen. Jeff Merkley, an Oregon Democrat, applauded the bipartisan package for rejecting “draconian cuts” proposed by the White House. The biggest of those was the administration’s proposal to cut Transportation-HUD spending by more than $20 billion compared to current levels. The Senate instead increased spending in the Transportation-HUD measure.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the package included a $10 billion overall increase for infrastructure needs with a particular concentration on spending in rural areas. He noted that the package amounted to one-eighth of total discretionary spending.
