The President Affirms He Will ‘Follow the Agreement’ to Finish Funding Crisis
Following a period of unsuccessful attempts and rejected ballots, a Senate action was approved in the US Senate with a 60-40 tally, as several Democratic and independent senators voted alongside all Republicans to move forward a bipartisan agreement that would finance most national offices through January.
The bill now passes to the House of Representatives, which is projected to vote on the proposal on Wednesday.
The Democratic caucus has expressed outrage at the lawmakers who broke ranks, with top Senate Democrat Schumer now facing calls to leave his post as minority leader.
“Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be removed,” stated lawmaker Khanna, who represents the Bay Area of California. “Failing to take a stand to stop healthcare premiums from rising sharply for Americans, where is the commitment?”
When asked Monday if he backed the Senate agreement to resolve the funding lapse, Trump said he would “follow the agreement,” describing it as “very good.”

High Court to Decide if Local Governments Can Count Ballots Received After Election Day
