The Senate approved a GOP-led budget at 3:28 a.m. Friday in a 52-46 vote.

The budget seeks to reduce the federal deficit to zero within a decade and includes a repeal of ObamaCare. The vote comes after the House passed a similar budget blueprint on Wednesday. Both chambers face an April 15 deadline to hash out a final budget.
