The President Affirms He Will ‘Abide by the Deal’ to Conclude Government Shutdown

After weeks of false starts and failed votes, a Senate action succeeded in the upper chamber with a 60 to 40 vote, as seven Democrats and one independent voted alongside all Republicans to push through a compromise deal that would finance most national offices through January.

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

The Democratic caucus has expressed outrage at the those who voted against the party, with senior Democratic senator the Senate Democratic leader now facing calls to resign as Democratic leader.

“Senator Schumer is ineffective and should be replaced,” said lawmaker Khanna, who serves the Bay Area of California. “Failing to take a stand to stop medical costs from rising sharply for Americans, where is the commitment?”

When inquired Monday if he endorsed the funding compromise to stop the government shutdown, the President said he would “follow the agreement,” calling it “positive.”
