With less than three hours before the government ran out of money, the House passed a $1.1 trillion spending bill on a narrow 219-206 vote. The House also passed a measure to fund the government for two additional days in order to give the Senate more time to vote on the spending bill. The Senate approved that two-day funding bill to prevent a government shutdown that was set to start at midnight on Thursday. However, senators still have to vote on the $1.1 trillion spending bill. SEE ALSO: President Obama supports highly criticized spending bill Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said a Senate vote on the $1.1 trillion spending bill, which was nicknamed the “cromnibus” bill, could come as early as Friday. “The Senate will debate the long-term funding bill tomorrow, and we’ll vote on it as soon as possible,” Reid tweeted shortly after the Senate voted on the two-day funding bill. In another tweet, Reid said he was “upset” with some of the provisions included in the $1.1 trillion bill and admitted that the bill wasn’t perfect. But he said a longer-term funding bill was “much better” for the nation’s economy than a short-term one. Some Democrats shared Reid’s views, including President Barack Obama. White House Press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters on Thursday that the president opposed some of the provisions of the bill. But he said Obama would sign the bill, because it would provide “the kind of certainty that’s important to our economy.” Meanwhile, there were some Democrats on the progressive side who broke with Obama and Reid and opposed the spending bill. They blasted the measure all day Thursday and encouraged other Democrats to vote against it. They were mainly upset over two measures Republicans added to the bill: one to loosen regulations on banks and another to increase the amount of money the wealthy can donate to national party committees. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was one of the Democrats who led the fight against the spending bill. Speaking on the House floor Thursday night, she said she was “enormously disappointed” that the White House supported the bill. SEE ALSO: Congress agrees on a $1.1 trillion spending bill: What’s in it? Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) also led the effort. She explained the provision loosening regulations on banks would let derivative traders on Wall Street “gamble” with taxpayer money and require the federal government to bail them out when they fail. “A vote for this bill is a vote for future taxpayer bailouts of Wall Street,” Warren said on the House floor Thursday. “When a next bailout comes, a lot of people will look back to this vote to see who was responsible for putting the government back on the hook to bailout Wall Street.” There were also some Republicans who opposed the bill — but for different reasons than Democrats. One of their biggest concerns was that the spending bill doesn’t go far enough to block Obama’s recent executive actions on immigration. The bill only funds the Department of Homeland Security through February, setting up a spending fight over immigration. But Republicans, like Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) wanted bolder actions. “House leadership promises to ‘fight the President tooth and nail’ on his unconstitutional executive amnesty, stating that ‘this is the wrong way to govern,’” Brooks said in a statement Thursday night. “However, the CROmnibus is a tacit surrender to the President’s unilateral action and a missed opportunity to stop it.”

Released late Tuesday night, the 1,603-page spending bill funds most of the government through September 2015. The Department of Homeland Security, however, would only be funded through Feb. 27. The bill includes funding for various government agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency, which will receive more money than what the White House had asked for. There’s also funding to combat the Ebola epidemic, as well as funding to fight the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

On immigration, the bill provides money for immigration programs, including $948 million for a program run by the Department of Health and Human Services that provides health and education services to unaccompanied minors. Though the main intent of the spending bill is to provide funding for the federal government, it is also packed with dozens of policy riders. Perhaps one of the most controversial policy rider included in the bill is one that would dramatically increase the amount of money the wealthy can contribute to a national political party. Currently, a person can donate a maximum of $32,400 to either the Democratic National Committee or the Republican National Committee. But the spending bill seeks to increase that maximum to $324,000. Also controversial is a policy rider that would block the District of Columbia’s ballot initiative legalizing marijuana. The initiative passed in November with nearly 70 percent of the vote. The news shocked elected D.C. leaders and people who advocated for the ballot initiative. Both of these policy riders, if debated, would likely face contentious arguments from both sides. But  they are now likely to pass without any congressional debate, because they are part of the must-pass spending bill. SEE ALSO: Boehner proposes a plan to avoid a government shutdown The House and Senate are expected to vote just hours before Thursday’s funding deadline. Though it’s expected to pass both chambers, there are some House Republicans who oppose it because it doesn’t do anything to block President Barack Obama’s executive actions on immigration. Meanwhile, there are also some Democrats who aren’t happy with some of the policy riders attached to the bill. House Speaker John Boehner defended the spending bill on Wednesday, saying all the provisions in it “were worked out in a bipartisan, bicameral fashion.” The Republican leader from Ohio also said he expected the bill to pass. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid echoed Boehner’s remarks on Wednesday. “There’s no reason the government should shut down, and we’re ready to pass a yearlong spending bill to take care of this,” the Democratic leader from Nevada said.
