The CR now goes to the Senate where it faces an uncertain future. The House and Senate are now out of alignment, having approved different versions of the same government spending plan. The Senate will need 60 yeas to overcome a filibuster. That would require Democratic help

Passage of CR with border money a major victory for President Trump and Republicans and a defeat for Democrats…who said the GOP lacked the votes for the border wall.
LS, I looked on your twitter TL, but couldn’t find it - didn’t you say a couple of weeks ago that McConnell could pass the wall funding bill through reconciliation (or some process) that would not require 60 votes? That he was just pulling the wool over our eyes?
Thank you for your help in refreshing my memory.
