Donald Trump Says He Will ‘Honor the Compromise’ to End Funding Crisis

After a period of unsuccessful attempts and failed votes, a procedural vote passed in the US Senate with a 60 to 40 vote, as seven Democrats and one independent voted alongside all Republicans to move forward a compromise deal that would fund most national offices through January.

The legislation now heads to the lower chamber, which is expected to decide on the proposal on Wednesday.

The Democratic caucus has expressed outrage at the those who voted against the party, with senior Democratic senator Schumer now under pressure to leave his post as minority leader.

“He is losing influence and should be succeeded,” said representative the California congressman, who represents the Bay Area of California. “Without leadership on this issue to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, where is the commitment?”

When questioned Monday if he endorsed the Senate agreement to resolve the funding lapse, Trump said he would “honor the compromise,” describing it as “beneficial.”

Justices to Rule if States Can Count Ballots Received After Election Day
