After a period of unsuccessful attempts and unsuccessful tallies, a Senate action was approved in the upper chamber with a clear majority, as several Democratic and independent senators voted alongside all Republicans to push through a compromise deal that would support most federal agencies through January.

When inquired Monday if he backed the funding compromise to stop the government shutdown, he said he would “follow the agreement,” describing it as “very good.”
