AND the passage of continuous resolution In order for the government to be open, it was an extraordinary example of a revolutionary movement through which we live.
Traditionally, continuous resolution requires a two -party agreement to pass through the Senate.
Republican leaders meet with democratic leaders to talk about it. And continuous resolution becomes far more expensive – and gets a lot more ideological language.
Off is prevented after Schumer caves and back Trump spent an account
After the 2024 elections, many alleged experts said that President Donald Trump would have a hard time getting legislation through an extremely narrow Republican majority or past of 60 votes thresholds.
The Republicans have been in restlessly for a decade. The speaker John Boehner withdrew in early October 2015. His successor, President Paul Ryan, announced that he would no longer run in mid -2018. There was a defeat of 40 seats in that middle -aged election. Then speaker Kevin McCarthy worked for four years to renew the Republican majority, but a small, outraged fraction simply made its speech unsustainable. McCarthy needed 15 ballots to win speech. Then the same outraged dissidents forced him to the same elevated dissidents on October 3, 2023.

Finally, speaker Mike Johnson appeared as a candidate for a speaker consensus, after three high profile members failed to win 218 votes. Since Johnson was not in the lead, it was a huge jump of responsibility. Because of this, many believed that they would not be able to control the office, which eventually forced Boehner, Ryan and McCarthy.
The speaker Johnson proved to be far more successful – and much strategic – than anyone expected. He also decided early that he could only be effective as an ally of President Trump.
The leader of the Senate majority John Thune was a veteran of a house that served in Senate for 20 years. At the age of 64, he is a generation younger than the former Mitch McConnell. Thune proved to be a good partner for President Trump and President Johnson. The three of them worked hard on the same page and worked together to finish things.
If you had told any of the so -called experts on January 20 that Republicans could get a seven -month continuous resolution for the government to be open to the rest of the fiscal year through a home with only Republican voices, he or she would probably not believe you. If you had told them then that it would be difficult to undermine the Senate Democrats, they would have thought you were dreaming. Finally, if you told them that President Johnson, President Trump and the leader of most Thunes would surpass Democrats and not give them any choice but to convey continuing resolution or closed government, experts would throw you out of their hands.

However, with the help of the director of the Russ Voughta Management and Budget, President Trump did what he would call in chess.
The fork is a setting where your opponent has two chess pieces in danger. Both cannot be saved. The only choice is the one for the victim.
The constant resolution that left the house was completely Republican. Reduced consumption. He moved consumption from the domestic policies of Republicans who opposed the immigration implementation and defense. More importantly, they wrote the current law to provide the President of Trump and Elon Musk with greater flexibility to reduce consumption and waste.
Democrats were furious that they were cut from the process. They desperately defeated the Republican effort, so they could then be offered to work with them and develop a much more liberal account to fight the change.
When Democrats failed to stop President Johnson, they only had two elections. They were both painful.
Everyone could vote no. If the Democrats of Senate did, the Republicans would not have passed the Philibuster, so the government would close. In this case, standing to President Trump may have been a political victory for their base. But that would not play well with the rest of the country.

Then Democrats realized that President Trump could reduce multiple programs and reshape the bureaucracy even more into a screenplay of the exclusion than they could, if they were bringing an account, which they thought had already approved too much power.
Thus, the choice for Democrats became a proposal for the law by which President Trump gave more authority to reduce the Government – or stop the proposal of the law and give him even more powers.
President Trump, speaker Johnson and the leader of most Thunes played this round and won a big win.

They also proved that they could go through a reduction in taxes, a deregulation and other priorities where President Trump and Republicans were in the 2024 campaign.
This was a big victory with huge implications on the future.
