Congress has finally voted to end the COVID emergency.
The Senate voted 68-23 to end the emergency.
The House voted 229-197 to end the emergency.
It now heads to Joe Biden to sign – he is expected to sign it.
The Senate on Wednesday passed a GOP-led resolution that would end the COVID-19 national emergency that’s been in place since 2020.
The measure passed the upper chamber 68-23.
A similar resolution sponsored by Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) passed the Senate last year, but did not advance in the Democratically-controlled House. This year it passed the House 229-197, with 11 Democrats joining all Republicans.
President Biden last year threatened to veto the measure. This year, he did not threaten a veto but issued a statement of administration principles before the House vote objecting to the resolution.
On Wednesday, however, he said he would sign the measure.
