The Senate will hold a final vote on the Violence Against Women Act on Tuesday afternoon after wrapping up debate and amendments, according to a Senate Democratic aide.

The Senate has rejected two Republican-led amendments — one to replace the legislation with a scaled back version and another to eliminate a provision designed to beef up protections for Native American women who suffer abuse.
