President Says He Will ‘Honor the Compromise’ to Conclude Shutdown
After a period of false starts and unsuccessful tallies, a legislative motion succeeded in the upper chamber with a 60-40 tally, as several Democratic and independent senators sided with all Republicans to move forward a funding solution that would support most government departments through January.
The bill now moves to the House, which is expected to vote on the proposal on Wednesday.
The Democratic caucus has expressed outrage at the defectors, with top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer now under pressure to step down as senior party official.
“Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be succeeded,” remarked lawmaker Ro Khanna, who covers the Silicon Valley region of California. “If you can’t lead the fight to stop insurance rates from increasing rapidly for Americans, where is the commitment?”
When inquired Monday if he endorsed the legislative deal to resolve the funding lapse, the President said he would “follow the agreement,” calling it “beneficial.”
