President States He Will ‘Abide by the Deal’ to End Shutdown
After weeks of failed efforts and rejected ballots, a procedural vote was approved in the Senate with a 60-40 tally, as several Democratic and independent senators joined all Republicans to push through a bipartisan agreement that would fund most national offices through January.
The measure now heads to the House, which is expected to vote on the proposal on Wednesday.
The Democratic caucus has directed frustration at the defectors, with minority leader Chuck Schumer now receiving demands to resign as senior party official.
“Senator Schumer is ineffective and should be succeeded,” said representative Khanna, who represents the tech hub of California. “Without leadership on this issue to stop medical costs from skyrocketing for Americans, what issues matter?”
When inquired Monday if he supported the Senate agreement to resolve the government shutdown, he said he would “abide by the deal,” describing it as “very good.”
