Trump signed a bill to fund the government for 6 months, avoiding a shutdown


Washington – President Donald Trump has signed the government in the law of funding by the end of September, has abolished the threat of a partial government’s closure and has discontinued a conflict in the Congress that depths 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 cross the bill despite opposition from within their party-the most vocals 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, they would never be again done again.

“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.
