The President Says He Will ‘Follow the Agreement’ to End Shutdown
Following a period of failed efforts and failed votes, a Senate action passed in the Senate with a clear majority, as a group of eight lawmakers voted alongside all Republicans to advance a compromise deal that would support most federal agencies through January.
The measure now heads to the House of Representatives, which is expected to consider the bill on Wednesday.

When inquired Monday if he backed the Senate agreement to resolve the federal closure, Trump said he would “follow the agreement,” calling it “very good.”
