- Trump has signed a permanent resolution in the law that prevents the government’s closure.
- The bill remains the government’s financing at the end of September.
- The Democrats Funding Bill on Capital Hill had a deep distribution.
President Donald Trump signed the government’s funding bill at a high -ranking Senate a day earlier on Saturday, which stopped the closure of the partial government, but left the Democrats divided on their strategy to counter the administration.
White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary, Harrison Fields wrote in a post on X that Trump had signed it Issued resolution. Fields thanked several Congress leaders from Louisiana’s House Speaker Mike Johnson to Senate minority leader Chak Shamar, New York’s Senate minority leader Chak Shamar.
The bill-which funds the government at the end of September-increases defense costs by about $ 13 billion and increases defense spending by $ 6 billion.
On Friday, the GOP-controlled Senate voted 62-38 to advance the move, with Shamar and nine other lawmakers who joined almost every Republican with Democrats.
The bill then approved the Chamber in the last 54-46 votes. New Hampshire’s Democratic Sen. Jean Shaheen and Azad Sen Angoos King of Mine were the only members who were Kakos to support the final move with the Democrats, while Kentucky’s GOP Sen Rand Paul was the only anti -GOP of the bill.
The passage of the bill has exposed a huge raft between Democrats on the capital Hill, as practically every Democrat – which belongs to many major swing districts. House Republicans, led by Johnson, passed a funding bill in a narrow vote of 217-213.
New York’s House Democratic leader Hakim Jeffrez opposed the funding bill and on Friday called it an “attack on veterans, families, elders and everyday Americans.”
In the meantime, Shamar supported the move, criticizing several progressive lawmakers, including New York’s representative Alexandria Okasio Cortez, who called the Senator’s pressure to collect Democratic support to advance the funding bill.
“It turns the federal government into a slash fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk, Okasio Cortez said during a CNN interview on Thursday.” “It sacrifices Congress powers, and it is a deep party.”
However, Shamar argued that the shutdown would allow the Trump administration to gain more power when reducing the size of the federal government.
“A shutdown dod will allow turning into an over -drive,” said a New York senator. “Donald Trump and Elon Musk will be free to eliminate important government services at a very fast rate.”
