The vote in the Senate is expected in Sept.  Their Senate Armed Services Committee approved the Biden budget plus an additional $45 billion.  

After the Senate approves the budget, the House and Senate will form a committee to iron out the difference.  A new vote will be held on this joint bill and if approved, it will be sent to the President for his signature.  The President, however he is, always signs.
