Off the US government prevented while the Senate brings an expense account
The United States prevented the exclusion of the Government after the Senate brought a republican measure to make the state funded for the next six months.
He passed the proposal of the Hall Financing Act in Senate 54-46, as two Democrats joined everyone except one Republican senator in voting yes. President Donald Trump now has to sign him before the deadline at midnight on Friday.
The key vote came earlier when some democrats in Senate, after a fierce discussion, allowed the measure to pass a procedural obstacle.
The leader of the minority Senate, Democrat Chuck Schumer and nine others broke their colleagues to vote to improve the law of the law until the last vote on Friday night.
Two Democrats – Senator Jeanne Shaheen and Independent Senator Angus King of Maine – voted for their final passage. Schumer voted “no”.
On Thursday, he announced that he would vote so that the measure could move forward, saying that, although he was not the bill he liked, he believed that starting the exclusion would be a worse result.
Representative Alexandria Fathersio Cortez called Schumer’s willingness to let the consumption account go “huge slap in the face”, adding that there is a “wide sense of betrayal among the party,” according to the BBC, CBS News.
She said she supported the law of the law “codified chaos and reckless reductions that Elon Musk persecuted,” and that Democrats of Senate would vote to strengthen “the robbery of our Federal Government to fund the reduction of taxes for billionaires.”
Democrats struggled about whether they would support the measure and eventually asked for 30 days of continuous resolution, which is unlikely to earn enough support.
Senator Ted Cruz accused Democrats of running a “political theater” and praised the passage of the law.
“The government is funded, let’s go back to work,” he said in a statement.
The passage is a victory for Trump and congress Republicans.
On Friday morning, Trump offered a rare two -sided praise for Schumer’s decision to improve the law, writing that “the pass will be destroyed by the country, the approval will lead us to new heights.”
The legislation would keep most of the federal levels of funding from the Biden Management Board, with some key changes.
It increases military consumption by $ 6 billion (4.6 billion pounds), for items such as border safety, veteran health care and military consumption. But he would reduce the financing without a dam by about $ 13 billion.
Local Washington DC officials were afraid that the account would result in a reduction in federal funds for the city in the amount of $ 1 billion over the next six months. However, the Senate approved a separate proposal for a law that kept his current operating budget intact, the New York Times reported.
