Donald Trump States He Will ‘Follow the Agreement’ to End Government Shutdown

Following a period of unsuccessful attempts and failed votes, a legislative motion succeeded in the Senate with a 60 to 40 vote, as a group of eight lawmakers voted alongside all Republicans to advance a funding solution that would fund most government departments through January.

The legislation now heads to the lower chamber, which is projected to consider the bill on Wednesday.

The Democratic caucus has directed frustration at the lawmakers who broke ranks, with minority leader the Senate Democratic leader now facing calls to leave his post as Democratic leader.

When questioned Monday if he endorsed the Senate agreement to stop the federal closure, the President said he would “abide by the deal,” describing it as “positive.”
