Schumer supports GOP bill to prevent government shutdown

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer has agreed to consider a Republican-led spending bill to avoid a government shutdown. This decision comes as the deadline approaches, and Schumer expressed concern that a shutdown would benefit President Trump and Elon Musk. Democrats have been divided over the GOP bill, which has already passed the House. Schumer's support aims to prevent further chaos from a shutdown, despite internal disagreements among Democrats about the best strategy. Republicans hold a majority in the Senate, and Democrats must decide whether to support the funding package, which would keep the government running until the end of September. The situation remains tense as the deadline nears.
