President Donald Trump praised a longtime adversary, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, after the New York Democrat said he would vote in favor of a Republican bill to fund the government and avert a shutdown. "Congratulations to Chuck Schumer for doing the right thing — Took 'guts' and courage!" Trump wrote on Truth Social, his media platform.

A vote to end debate on the House-passed stopgap spending bill to avoid a government shutdown will take place on Friday afternoon ahead of the late night deadline.
