If passed by the Republican-led Congress, the agreement would avert an unprecedented default on U.S. government debt, keep the government funded at the outset of the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1 and provide aid to victims of Hurricane Harvey. "It was a really good moment of some bipartisanship and getting things done," top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer said.
