The President Affirms He Will ‘Honor the Compromise’ to Conclude Funding Crisis
After a period of false starts and failed votes, a legislative motion was approved in the Senate with a 60 to 40 vote, as a group of eight lawmakers voted alongside all Republicans to push through a bipartisan agreement that would fund most federal agencies through January.
The measure now passes to the House, which is anticipated to vote on the bill on Wednesday.
The Democratic caucus has expressed outrage at the lawmakers who broke ranks, with senior Democratic senator Chuck Schumer now receiving demands to step down as minority leader.

When inquired Monday if he supported the funding compromise to resolve the federal closure, the President said he would “honor the compromise,” labeling it “very good.”
