President Donald Trump praised Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-New York) on March 14 for his decision to vote for a Republican-backed continuing resolution to keep the government funded.

With Democrats in the House and Senate raging at Schumer because he insisted senators bend a knee to President Donald Trump and approve a federal government spending plan that guts critical programs — rather than shut down the government — Jeffries was asked whether he believed Schumer had “acquiesced.”

The Senate minority leader came under heavy fire for the second straight day from Democrats enraged at him for backing a Republican bill to avoid a government shutdown, and fallout appears likely to last well past Friday’s vote.
