Senate Democrats and the White House reached a deal to fund the government, but lawmakers aren’t out of the woods of averting a partial shutdown. Schumer and Democrats have been adamant that if the bill were sidelined, they’d vote for the remaining five, which includes funding for the Pentagon. Senate Democrats and the White House have agreed to a deal that will avoid a potential government shutdown. President Trump labored for a deal to occur as the White House blamed Schumer for blocking meetings with rank-and-file Democrats before a deal was reached. Many Senate Republicans recognize that stripping the DHS bill is not the best outcome but contended that it was better than not funding the government and entering yet another shutdown.
