Working overtime on the weekend, the U.S. Senate on Saturday voted to begin debate on a Democratic-backed bill with regulations and funding on climate change, clean energy, health and taxes.

In a key vote, Democrats advanced the bill on a 51-50 tally. All of the Democrats supported the legislation and all Republicans were in opposition. Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaker.

If that margin holds up on the final vote, the 755-page bill would pass and be sent to the House of Representatives where Democrats hold a slim majority.

According to The Associated Press, Democrats were able to cement a united front by making compromises with Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Krysten Sinema of Arizona.
