President Says He Will ‘Honor the Compromise’ to End Shutdown

The bill now moves to the House, which is projected to consider the measure on Wednesday.
The Democratic caucus has directed frustration at the lawmakers who broke ranks, with senior Democratic senator Schumer now under pressure to leave his post as minority leader.

When asked Monday if he backed the Senate agreement to stop the funding lapse, he said he would “abide by the deal,” calling it “very good.”
