President Affirms He Will ‘Honor the Compromise’ to Conclude Funding Crisis
Following a period of unsuccessful attempts and failed votes, a legislative motion succeeded in the US Senate with a 60-40 tally, as seven Democrats and one independent voted alongside all Republicans to push through a bipartisan agreement that would support most government departments through January.
The measure now moves to the House, which is expected to consider the proposal on Wednesday.
The Democratic caucus has directed frustration at the lawmakers who broke ranks, with senior Democratic senator Chuck Schumer now facing calls to step down as Democratic leader.
“Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced,” said congressman Ro Khanna, who serves the tech hub of California. “If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from rising sharply for Americans, what issues matter?”
When inquired Monday if he backed the funding compromise to end the government shutdown, the President said he would “honor the compromise,” describing it as “beneficial.”
