Top U.S. Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer on Thursday said he would vote to advance a Republican stopgap funding bill, signaling that his party would provide the votes to avert a government shutdown.
Schumer acknowledged the difficulty of his decision, which will put him on record as supporting a bill that was written only by Republicans and has drawn fierce attacks from Democrats. The bill passed the Republican-controlled House of Representatives earlier this week.
