Following weeks of unsuccessful attempts and rejected ballots, a procedural vote succeeded in the upper chamber with a 60-40 tally, as a group of eight lawmakers voted alongside all Republicans to advance a funding solution that would finance most federal agencies through January.

The Democratic caucus has expressed outrage at the lawmakers who broke ranks, with top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer now receiving demands to leave his post as senior party official.

When inquired Monday if he backed the funding compromise to end the federal closure, he said he would “abide by the deal,” calling it “positive.”
