Schumer relented one day after he vowed Senate Democrats would thwart the "partisan" measure, saying the "chaos" of a government shutdown would be a worse option.

Schumer said he would help advance a GOP spending bill because a shutdown "has consequences for America that are much, much worse."

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer very publicly wrestled with the implications of his obstruction or acquiescence before caving on Thursday evening.
