Trump praises Schumer for supporting GOP spending bill

President Donald Trump congratulated Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for agreeing to support a Republican bill to prevent a government shutdown. This comes after Schumer initially stated that Republicans lacked the votes in the Senate. The Senate is set to vote on the bill, which would maintain current spending levels through September. It passed the House with a narrow margin, despite strong opposition from most Democrats. Schumer's decision to back the bill has drawn criticism from some Democrats, including Rep. Nancy Pelosi, who urged a vote against it. The bill includes cuts to nondefense spending and increases in defense spending.
