North Dakota’s senators split their votes early Saturday on the Republican overhaul of the tax code.

Sen. John Hoeven sided with almost all of his fellow Republicans to pass the bill in a 51-49 vote. The bill still needs to be reconciled with a House version that passed a couple of weeks ago before heading to President Donald Trump’s desk.

Hoeven said the bill boosts the standard deduction, which most North Dakotans use, and maintains a state and local property tax deduction of up to $10,000.

“The Senate took an important step to provide hardworking, middle-class Americans with tax relief that will enable them to keep more of their paycheck and at the same time lower rates for small businesses, including our farmers and ranchers, so we can grow our economy and create more jobs with higher wages,” Hoeven said in a statement.

Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, a Democrat facing reelection next year in a conservative state, said the bill is “bad for North Dakota,” arguing that it favors wealthy people at the expense of the middle class. The Joint Committee on Taxation, meanwhile, has said that even after accounting for economic growth, the bill would add more than $1 trillion to the debt over a decade.
