Senators passed a fiscal year 2023 budget Thursday that would fund the government until September 30 of next year through a sprawling piece of legislation, known as the “omnibus bill,” packed with provisions and reforms that impact everything from election integrity to Medicaid.
In passing the bill, senators also approved reforms to the Electoral Count Act that would clarify that the vice president’s role in presiding over Congress’ certification of the presidential election results is strictly ministerial and would require at least one-fifth of members of both chambers to object to the process–changes designed to prevent a repeat of former President Donald Trump and his allies’ attempts to contest the results in 2021.
