US government shutdown averted as Senate passes spending bill happymamay

The United States has avoided a government closure after the Senate approved a measure led by the Republicans to keep the government for the next six months.

The StopGAP bill was approved in the Senate 54-46, where two Democrats joined all Republican Senator in the vote yes. President Donald Trump must now sign him in the law before the deadline midnight.

The main vote came early when some Democrats in the Senate allowed, after a fierce discussion, for this procedure to pass a procedural obstacle.

The leader of the minority in the Senate, Democrat Chuck Schumer, and nine others broke their colleagues to vote to push the bill to his final vote on Friday.

Two Democrats – Senator Jean Shaheen and Independent Senator Angus King of Maine – voted for her final passage. Shomer’s voice “No”.

On Thursday, he announced that he would vote to allow this procedure to move forward, saying that although it was not a bill he loved, he believed that the closure operation would be a worse result.

Alexandria actress Okasio Cortez called for Shomer’s willingness to allow the draft spending law to move forward in a “huge slap in the face”, adding that there is a “wide sense of treason” between the party, according to the American CBS News partner in BBC.

She said that supporting the draft law “clarifies chaos and reckless discounts followed by Elon Musk”, and that the Democrats in the Senate who voted with yes will enable “to steal our federal government to finance the tax cuts of billionaires.”

Democrats had spoiled whether this procedure would be supported, and eventually prompted a 30 -day continuous decision that is unlikely to get enough support to pass it.

Senator Ted Cruz accused the Democrats of conducting the “political theater” and praised the passage of the bill.

“The government was funded, let’s go back to work,” he said in a statement.

The clip is a victory for Trump and the Republicans in Congress.

On Friday morning, Trump presented the rare praise of the two parties for Schumer’s decision to allow the draft law to progress, and he writes that “the lack of pass will be destroyed by a country, the approval will lead us to new horizons.”

Legislation will keep many federal financing levels from the applicable Baiden administration, with some major changes.

Military spending increases by $ 6 billion (4.6 billion pounds), for elements such as border security and health care, veterans and military spending. But it would reduce funding without defending about $ 13 billion.

Local officials in Washington, DC, were afraid that the bill would lead to a billion dollars in the city’s federal funds during the next six months. However, the Senate approved a separate draft law that remained the current operating budget, according to the New York Times.
