President Donald Trump and Senate Democrats struck a deal to avert a prolonged shutdown for most of the federal government.
The deal will fund all of the government except DHS until September. DHS, meanwhile, will receive funding for two weeks while lawmakers negotiate changes following public outrage over two shootings in Minneapolis by ICE agents.
“If Republicans don’t do s— for two weeks, DHS shuts down and there’s little incentive for us to reopen without the guardrails on ICE,” a Democratic aide told NBC News.
While the Senate is aiming to vote today, it still needs to pass through the House – which returns to Washington on Monday, before it can be sent to Trump’s desk for his signature.
My view from outside looking in — this “appears” to be a loss for Republicans and a win for Democrats……….
It’s Not a Loss for Republicans
With this bill The Government is Fully Funded until September…all of Trumps initiatives move forward
The only contention is more funding for DHS…but it’s my understanding it is well funded by the OBB for 3 years
When has Trump EVER lost anything to the Dems ?
not a done deal ?
