President Says He Will ‘Abide by the Deal’ to Finish Funding Crisis

After weeks of unsuccessful attempts and failed votes, a legislative motion passed in the Senate with a 60-40 tally, as a group of eight lawmakers sided with all Republicans to push through a funding solution that would support most government departments through January.

The bill now heads to the House, which is anticipated to decide on the proposal on Wednesday.

The Democratic caucus has aimed anger at the lawmakers who broke ranks, with minority leader Chuck Schumer now receiving demands to leave his post as minority leader.

“He is losing influence and should be replaced,” stated representative the California congressman, who serves the Bay Area of California. “If you can’t lead the fight to stop medical costs from increasing rapidly for Americans, what issues matter?”

When inquired Monday if he endorsed the funding compromise to stop the government shutdown, the President said he would “abide by the deal,” describing it as “beneficial.”

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