President Says He Will ‘Honor the Compromise’ to Finish Funding Crisis
After a period of failed efforts and failed votes, a legislative motion succeeded in the US Senate with a 60 to 40 vote, as seven Democrats and one independent voted alongside all Republicans to move forward a bipartisan agreement that would fund most government departments through January.
The measure now moves to the House of Representatives, which is anticipated to consider the proposal on Wednesday.

When questioned Monday if he supported the funding compromise to resolve the government shutdown, he said he would “honor the compromise,” describing it as “positive.”
