The US Senate has approved a six-bill package of $460 billion to finance various federal government sectors&nbsp;in time to meet a midnight deadline&nbsp;until September, narrowly averting a partial shutdown. 
 
The Senate on Friday approved a $460 billion package of spending bills for avoiding a shutdown of many key federal agencies.

The upper chamber voted 75 to 22, delivering the bill to President Joe Biden's desk just before the midnight deadline, with his expected signature on Saturday (March 9).

Republicans' insistence on amendment votes related to immigration and other measures slowed down the bill's progress, risking a final vote on Saturday after funding expiration.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer highlighted the bipartisan effort and emphasised the positive impact on essential programmes, expressing optimism about completing the remaining appropriation bills by March 22.

Schumer&nbsp;said the bill’s passage would allow the hiring of more air traffic controllers and rail safety inspectors, give federal firefighters a raise and boost support for homeless veterans, besides other things.

The House passed the package earlier in the week, relying on Democratic support to secure approval. Conservatives remained steadfast in opposing funding extensions that lacked preferred spending cuts and policy riders.

In a statement from the White House, the Office of Management and Budget confirmed the cessation of shutdown preparations, anticipating the bill's prompt signing by the President. The legislation covers agriculture, energy, environment, housing, transportation, veterans, and the Justice Department until the fiscal year's end on September 30.
