President Trump and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have reportedly reached an agreement to fund the government and avoid a partial shutdown past Friday.
“I am working hard with Congress to ensure that we are able to fully fund the Government, without delay. Republicans and Democrats in Congress have come together to get the vast majority of the Government funded until September, while at the same time providing an extension to the Department of Homeland Security (including the very important Coast Guard, which we are expanding and rebuilding like never before),” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Hopefully, both Republicans and Democrats will give a very much needed Bipartisan ‘YES’ Vote,” he added.
“America is setting Records in every way, and our Growth Numbers are among the best ever. The only thing that can slow our Country down is another long and damaging Government Shutdown,” Trump commented.
“The separation of the five bipartisan bills the Democrats asked for, plus the two-week DHS [continuing resolution] has been agreed to,” Schumer said in a statement, according to Fox News.

Fox News has more:
The deal brokered between the two would have the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill stripped from the broader six-bill package. Schumer and Democrats have been adamant that if the bill were sidelined, they’d vote for the remaining five, which includes funding for the Pentagon.
Their agreement also tees up a short-term funding extension, known as a continuing resolution (CR), for two weeks to keep the agency funded while lawmakers negotiate restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Trump and Schumer’s bipartisan truce comes after Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., and Senate Republicans barreled ahead with a test vote on the funding package that was ultimately torpedoed by Senate Democrats and a cohort of seven Republicans earlier in the day.
The seven Senate Republicans who voted against the six-bill funding package include:
- Sen. Ted Budd (NC)
- Sen. Ron Johnson (WI)
- Sen. Mike Lee (UT)
- Sen. Ashley Moody (FL)
- Sen. Rand Paul (KY)
- Sen. Rick Scott (FL)
- Sen. Tommy Tuberville (AL)

POLITICO shared further info:
The agreement hasn’t been announced on the Senate floor as party leaders try to arrange for swift passage, possibly as soon as Thursday night. Senate GOP leadership aides said they are surveying members to try to shake loose any potential snags or amendment requests.
Even if the Senate quickly passes the deal, a partial government shutdown could still happen early Saturday morning, since the House is in recess and not scheduled to return until Monday. Speaker Mike Johnson said Thursday it will take days to bring his members back into town, though Trump’s endorsement could help speed things along.
Leadership aides reiterated after Trump’s announcement that they still expect the earliest they will be able to hold votes on the agreement is next week, which would guarantee a brief partial shutdown.
Stripping the full-year DHS bill out of the larger six-bill package is a victory for Senate Democrats, who are unified behind demands for enforcement policy changes after federal agents deployed to Minnesota fatally shot 37-year-old Alex Pretti last week.
But Democratic leaders are still in negotiations with the White House over exactly what policy changes they want signed into law in return for their support for a long-term bill. Though Republicans have signaled they are open to some of the ideas Democrats have proposed, including requiring independent investigations, some in the GOP are raising warning flags about a fight to come.
