Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) backed a newly released continuing resolution (CR), saying the temporary government funding measure would prevent a shutdown while allowing lawmakers to continue negotiations over a broader bipartisan budget agreement.
Schumer Backs Government Funding Deal On Sunday, in a post on X, Schumer said Democrats have consistently supported keeping the government funded and reaching a long-term spending agreement that benefits American families.
"For months, Democrats have been clear: we want to fund the government, avoid a shutdown and pass strong, bipartisan appropriations bills that improve people’s lives," he said.
He called the continuing resolution a "responsible path forward" that would maintain government operations while negotiations continue on a full budget package.
Schumer also praised Sen.
