Chuck Schumer backs spending bill to avert US government shutdown

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced he will vote to advance the GOP funding bill to prevent a government shutdown, despite previously opposing it.
The Republican funding bill boosts Pentagon funding significantly while raising concerns about cuts to non-defense spending.
A Quinnipiac poll reveals that 53% of voters would blame Republicans for a government shutdown, compared to 32% who would blame Democrats.
Despite Democratic opposition, Schumer's support for the funding bill could allow it to secure the necessary votes to pass and avoid a shutdown.
