Senate Democrats support Republican resolution to avoid shutdown

Senate Democrats will support a Republican resolution to prevent a government shutdown. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced he will vote to end the filibuster, allowing a six-month funding plan to move forward. This decision comes after Schumer previously stated Republicans lacked the necessary votes. Despite some Democrats opposing the funding bill, a few are willing to support ending the filibuster to keep the government open. The Senate plans to vote on the resolution Friday morning, ahead of a midnight deadline. If passed, the bill will be sent to Trump, potentially avoiding a shutdown that would not have immediate effects.
