President Says He Will ‘Follow the Agreement’ to Finish Shutdown

Following weeks of failed efforts and unsuccessful tallies, a procedural vote was approved in the US Senate with a 60 to 40 vote, as a group of eight lawmakers voted alongside all Republicans to move forward a funding solution that would support most national offices through January.

The bill now heads to the House of Representatives, which is anticipated to vote on the measure on Wednesday.

When questioned Monday if he backed the legislative deal to stop the government shutdown, Trump said he would “follow the agreement,” describing it as “beneficial.”
