President Affirms He Will ‘Honor the Compromise’ to Conclude Government Shutdown

Following a period of failed efforts and unsuccessful tallies, a legislative motion succeeded in the Senate with a clear majority, as several Democratic and independent senators joined all Republicans to move forward a funding solution that would finance most government departments through January.

The bill now passes to the lower chamber, which is anticipated to vote on the proposal on Wednesday.

The Democratic caucus has directed frustration at the defectors, with senior Democratic senator Chuck Schumer now facing calls to leave his post as Democratic leader.

When inquired Monday if he supported the funding compromise to end the government shutdown, he said he would “follow the agreement,” describing it as “positive.”
