Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says that the upper chamber will vote on the omnibus bill as early as Friday, The Guardian reports. The House passed the bill Thursday night.
"It could be tomorrow, it could be two days afterward," Reid said. "There are some things that people will be upset about in this bill. To be candid there are some things I'm upset about the bill. But this bill is so much better than a short-term CR."
