After weeks of false starts and rejected ballots, a procedural vote succeeded in the Senate with a 60 to 40 vote, as several Democratic and independent senators sided with all Republicans to move forward a compromise deal that would finance most federal agencies through January.

When inquired Monday if he supported the funding compromise to resolve the funding lapse, Trump said he would “follow the agreement,” calling it “beneficial.”
