Washington – President Donald Trump has signed the government in the late September law, ending the threat of a partial government’s closure and has discontinued a struggle in the Congress that divides the Democrats deeply.
White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields said in a post on X that Trump signed the resolution continuously on Saturday.
The bill largely keeps government funding at the prescribed levels during Biden’s presidential post, although with changes. It trims about $ 13 billion non-defense expenses from the previous year and increases defense spending by about 6 billion dollars, which lead to marginal changes when talking about the topline spending level of about $ 1.7 trillion.
The Senate on Friday approved the law in 54-46 party line votes, in which 10 members of the Senate Democratic Cocks help the bill move forward despite opposition from within their party-most vocal from allies in the day, who instigated them to reject the bill by hand.
The Senate Democrats argued for those days whether to force a shutdown, pay attention to that the Republican drafts in the House and passed a measure without spending without their input. Democrats said that the law reduces health care, housing and other priorities and gives Trump a wide leverage to redirect federal expenses as his administration and government efficiency department, which rapidly ends Congress approved agencies and programs.
Finally, sufficient among the Democratic Senators decided that a government shutdown would be worse than passing the funding bill.
Senate Democratic Leader Chak Shumar said that a shutdown would not have given the Trump administration to the entire agencies, programs and personnel non-essential, furloing staff without any promise.
“A shutdown will allow Dogi to move to overdrive,” Shumar said. “Donald Trump and Elon Musk will be free to destroy important government services at a very fast rate.”
Passing the funding bill through the first House in the week was a win for Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, who managed to keep the Republican together and managed to pass the bill without the support of the Democrats – something that he rarely was able to achieve in the past.
